    Hello, I think it will work. But you can buy new M6100 about 160 dolars from ebay. Price K5000m is 250 dolars and more for use. And about change your procesor it will 200% work :) I have 2920xm but TDP is 55W and sometimes hit 93 C. 2860QM has 45W, for me best procesor to M6600. Of corse you need heatsink with two heatpipes on CPU PN: TDK7R

    I had a Nvidia Quadro k4000M, Nvidia GTX 680M, Nvidia Quadro K3000M and now I have GTX 675MX (Kepler) GPU. None of Kepler GPUs were stable with Optimus enabled. Only 1 time a have a luck to get it working after full windows reinstallation. BUUUT FPS in games was halved. For example in Diablo 3 - 30-35 FPS Optimus enabled, 60 FPS stable with optimus disabled. Maybe it's only in my case and you are going to have a better experience with Optimus.

    Hello everyone. Could you please tell me how fast in games firepro m6100 in this laptop is? Can I play in modern games ( like battlefield 1, Witcher 3, for Honor and so on ) on medium/high settings. Does someone have such experience? Thank you.
    Sorry for my English

    I'm still playing on M6100. Witcher 3, Doom 3, BF3 (did not try BF1) run smoothly on medium on FHD, WOT, WoW can push High if you disable shadows and AA/AF. That card still has quite a kick.
