    First post on here and after some advice please. I live in the UK and own a Mx18 R2 2013 model which has one gtx 680m gpu. I'm thinking of buying another one for sli or another gpu for upgrade, does anyone know where i can purchase one that will be compatible as i spoke to dell and they don't stock any for upgrade.Any advice would be most appreciated.

    I'm still kinda new to the modding world too but from what I've seen the 680m sli is very close in performance to 780m sli so personally i would just buy another 680m and save quite a bit of money and sacrifice a little bit of performance, but I'm sure some others will chime in.

    I bought my 780m from a member on here in the marketplace, if you can't find any that you would like you can also check ebay.
