Yes, it will work. It'd been done here https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/54952269
However, not sufficient samples could be an indication of unpopular upgrade plan. See other compatible upgrades from this benchmark site https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Dell-Precision-M6800/2931

As I elaborated, it will work but would not be a straight forward drop-in upgrade. On the NVIDIA side, users just need to modify .INF for compatible drivers.

Straight forward= no hacky.
Meaning it might not work without firmware flash.

As I stated in my previous comment, I was elaborated from unpopular result in my search. There was a reason that users rarely used the firepro s7100x for m6800.
I sent you the link to a working m6800 with s7100x. That system uses the driver aticfx64.dll Ver. 27.20.11023.11001
Maybe you can wait for other users input to confirm.
