    you can either buy one with different configuration on ebay or order on dell and upgrade since m1730 is upgradable.
    Good luck!

    ...and unfortunately the rumor is Dell is done with High-End Gaming Notebooks (except AW, of course).

    Sometimes someone here would sell theirs? or the Dell outlet might have 1 or 2 to spare!

    Ya, they are only offering 87m SLI. You can get 88m cards from ebay and upgrade it manually.

    It's been no secret that Dell is moving their high-performance gaming stuff to the Alienware side of things. They are phasing out the XPS series.
