Hello! I have a GTX 980m SC 17 (758-21-2933) and my wifi card has slowly been losing range over time. I'm looking into potential replacements for my WiFi card.
 
Is there any list of compatibility? Intel has their own compatibility list but EVGA isn't on there at all.
 
I'm looking at an upgrade while I'm at it, the below are my potential cards.
The only notable difference I can find in the last two is that one supports MU-MIMO (8265) and the other doesn't.
The 9260 offers much greater throughput potential.
If anyone could offer clarification on what the heck it means when the AC 9260 has a vPro and non-vPro version that would be neat. My i7-6820HQ apparently supports vPro but from what I understand that's like a Windows 10 Business/Pro encryption or security feature that I don't expect to be using on my computer.
 
AC 9260 (supposedly optimized for 8th gen intel processors)
AC 8265 (supposedly optimized for 7th gen intel processors)
AC 8260 (what came in the laptop)
