    Hi

    I've currently got an MSI GT70 2QD which currently has a Nvidia GTX970M card inside, the question is can I install a Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M 8GB DDR5 card inside of my machine?

    If so is it just as simple as swapping out the card and installing all necessary drivers or are there any driver mods I need to be aware of?

    If someone could get back to me to let me know that would be great.....

    Pretty sure that's how it works, but I would contact MSI just in case the power supply needs replacing etc.
