    I recently just got my y510p (59370005 model) and I thought I was satisfied with just a single GT750M card but it turned out I was wrong. So I was wondering if I want to use dual cards, do I just simply purchase a new card and inset it to my optic drive? And also for my second card, is it different from a regular GT750m graphics card? And last, is it possible to purchase another GT 750m card? Since I wasn't able to find any. ( I am not really in computer specs so some of these questions may seem stupid to you guys. I apologize.)

    You can find it on the Lenovo site, but i forgot the model number of the card, if i knew it i could give you a link. It is like GN34 or GN35 or something like that.

    You'll also need an upgraded power supply (cord). I think those run for around $100.

    79.99$ with free shipping and the card is 230$. Last I heard they were still unavailable.

    Why not just give Lenovo a call and order the parts by phone?

    Last time I tried I was told by someone I trust that they were on a boat coming from China and not availible yet (None of the Ultrabay parts)

    The 750M Ultrabay is not available yet. At this time, if you order the one advertised as such from the Lenovo website, you will get a 650M, guaranteed. As far as I know, not a single person has successfully bought a 750M Ultrabay from Lenovo, because there was never stock to begin with. The Lenovo reps have given a tentative release date of late August to early September, but based on their poor track record I'm not keeping my fingers crossed on their ability to deliver. When (if) it does ever get released, you can be sure that this forum will blow up as a lot of people have been anxiously waiting for it so they can upgrade to SLI.

    Ironic because you can buy Y510P's (not Y410P's) with SLI preconfigured, but can't actually buy the individual card.
