There is also Lenovo Y50 with GTX860m for similar price if you want to go without SLI.

please gtfo this thread if you are just going to put 

 

#DESKTOPMASTERRACE

 

all over the place

I'm not, I'm simply saying that spending $250 on a terrible laptop GPU for minimal performance boost isn't worth the money, and it makes more sense to save that $250 and build a desktop for gaming and save his laptop for on the go.

I personally own the Y510P and my friend owns the Y510P with the dual graphics, and trust me, it is not a minimal performance boost on supported games. $250 is a bit high though

yeah i like the y510p its a good lapto except the issue where the graphics doesnt work on battery

The other issue is that if the one he has has a 765m and the card he can buy to add in is a 755m, wouldn't that be impossible, or at least very janky?

because desktop is indeed #DESKTOPMASTERRACE.

 

seriously though, if your primary platform is laptop then yes , but $250 for a minimal performance boost isn't that worth
