    the Nvidia GTX460m was a official graphics card for the M15x, so yes it will work without issues providing its a dell card, and its a big improvement over the Nvidia GTX260m.
    yes plenty of people are running the Nvidia GTX560m in there M15x without issues you are required to do a driver inf mod to get the driver to install I think but that's it.
    I have the Nvidia GTX660m and it just works perfectly. eitherway they are all a big improvement over the Nvidia GTX260m. hope this helps

    just make sure its a dell card you buy.

    If you really want a 460M and would be willing to wait I could sell you mine for cheaper than that eBay link :D

    Yes, i might be interested

    However, i do have to realize that the game im trying to play is still in the beta testing phase (Company of Heroes 2) and that when they release it in june that it will probably be fully optimized and run fine. Because right now, that game runs pretty badly

    So if june comes and the game still runs like crap, i'll accept your offer
