Who here has an Alienware Graphics Amplifier (AGA)? I recently just got mine in the mail and now all I need to do is decide which graphics card I buy for it. I really want the new nvidia 1080 but I'm not sure which ones would fit in there. I have an Alienware 13 laptop with a 960m, which is almost comparable with the latest console graphics.
I know the founders edition fits but I'm also aware that some of the other models don't. Does anyone here have a 1080 in their AGA? I'm wanting to buy the EVGA 1080 SC, my only concern is that it won't fit! If anyone would be of any help I'd appreciate it greatly!

Ok, I will spoonfeed you this secret trick to determine if a graphics card will fit in a given space, so listening carefully:
1. Measure how much space you have.
2. Look up how much space the card you want takes up.
3. If it takes up more space than the space you have, it will not fit. Else, it will fit.

explain this bullshit

That's bigger than my desktop. What is the point of this?

Cooling.

They probably just misplaced the bars since the 4980HQ should indeed be faster in games.
>>55611415
it says right there in the chart
mobile cards vs desktop cards
the difference between both desktop cards falls within the rate of whatever the fuck it's called
>>55610228
I'd probably go with a 1070FE, or even see if I can get something like a 980/970 used cheap af.

The 4980HQ has better single threading

Forgot to say, I recommended the blower card because even though it's less effective, it'll be blowing air out of the enclosure instead of blowing the heat inside it like a regular card would

This better be bait m8.

Last I checked you can get AGA for 50 bucks
