UPDATE: Alienware USA has refreshed the 17.3-inch version with the Radeon R9 M290X. They’re also expected soon in other gaming laptops, such as the Asus G750JZ, but certainly won’t deliver massive improvements over the corresponding previous-gen video cards, since they’re all based on the same core technologies. We offer three months warranty on the product and year-long after sales service. The GTX 860M offers 640 shader units clocked at 1029 MHz (+ Boost) as well as 4 GB of GDDR5 memory (128 bit, 5000 MHz effective). Anyway, you can expect the new video cards to appear in Alienware laptops in Germany and other countries very soon and pricing will be known then. It is one of the first cards based on Nvidia's new Maxwell architecture (GM107 chip), but is still manufactured in 28 nm. We have no info on how much the newer video cards add to the overall prices of the laptops when compared to the previous generation GPUs, since ordering pages on the German Dell site are not available.

Also, recognizable Dell Alienware design fo the cases hasn’t been changed and there’s no any update to the 14-inch Alienware 14 model so far. A meticulously designed board with dual vapor chamber coolers ensure quiet operation. Alternatively, there is also a version based on the Kepler chip. The GTX 690 uses hardware based frame metering for smooth, consistent frame rates across both GPUs. The GTX 860M offers 640 shader units clocked at 1029 MHz (+ Boost) as well as 4 GB of GDDR5 memory (128 bit, 5000 MHz effective).

There are still the 4th Generation Intel Core “Haswell” i7 processors inside, 1080p displays, up to 32GB of RAM memory, and traditional hard drives plus optional mSATA solid state storage for faster performance. Combining the power of two Kepler GPUs, the GeForce GTX 690 is the fastest graphics card ever built. The GeForce GTX 700M-series cards are still available on both models. The larger 18.4-inch Alienware 18 has the same video cards, but they’re all offered in dual-GPU SLI and CrossFire configurations. On Dell’s website for Germany, the 17.3-inch Alienware 17 is now listed with Nvidia’s top GTX 880M model with whooping 8GB of GDDR5 video memory, mid-range gaming GTX 860M with 2GB GDDR5, and AMD’s top-of-the-line R9 M290X with 4GB GDDR5. Dell has started adding the new Nvidia GeForce GTX 880M, GTX 860M and AMD Radeon R9 M290X dedicated video cards to the specs sheets of the Alienware 17 and 18 gaming laptops.
