    Does anyone know if it works? I know Dell one works. But Clevo one is cheaper...

    It will certainly work as long as you flash it with the Clevo/Sager modded vBIOS with Enduro OFF (of if your reseller does) - Dell cards are your best bet though.

    I see. Yea, it is easier to just get Dell one. Thank you for the information. BTW, are you expecting any issue with 680M with optimus with 16F2?

    MS-16F2 doesn't have optimus technology enabled as pau1ow, meaker etc has pointed out to me. Hope this helps.

    I understand that 16f2 does not support optimus. I was wondering how that will affect the compatibility of GPU with it. I guess we will see since Pau1ow is experimenting it now. I can't wait to see the result.
