    Hello,

    Just a topic to say GTX780M on M6700 on Windows 8.1 is possible, i have just do it :) and with Optimus Ok :)

    Update :

    The GTX780M and the GTX680M is not fully compatible with 3 or more display. I have 3 external display + LCD with the dock and i have many freeze of the driver but with 2 display (external or one internal and one external or just internal), i have no problem. So this is not compatible for 3 or more display (it is functionnaly but with lot of freeze and restart and bug).

    So if you going to have dock or more display don't update your M6700 (or other) because it's not fully compatible. If you use internal or just another screen, it have no problem.

    I think hardware of M6700 not compatible with the 4 display possibility but with optimus + quadro yes.

    So for me i have to pull out and search a k5000M :/
