I find this shocking .. here is a computer that is 18 months old, supposedly the best gaming rig on the market, and your stuck with putting video cards into it that are 2 years old. they wont update the bios and your basically out of luck if you want to upgrade the box in any way. the whole point of a gaming rig is to have it run the latest and best video cards you can. their approach seems to be just the opposite. I guess alienware is not committed to supporting gamers.
Found out the same thing. I could not believe it. SHAME on DELL for forcing customers to buy new computer. This is what i hear from tech.. just get a new one and downgrade the other one to say email machine. LOL a $2500 computer to do email. Then spend another $2500 for new one.
AGAIN SHAME on you Michael DELL. You mislead people. Wonder if law suit would be coming?

Hi Gargoso,
Dell has tested Alienware Aurora R3 system with following video cards :
However, If you wish to upgrade to HD 7990, a new PSU might not be needed as HD 7990 have similar system requirements as of HD 6990 and should be able to run on your system. You may refer to AMD Radeon HD 7990 page Here for system requirements of HD 7990. The PSU requirements for HD 6990 and HD 7990 is 750W.
Hope this helps.
