    Maybe an alternative source of 6770Ms?

    I got a 6650m gddr5 off ebay and it has 4 external display outputs and no internal. :(

    I flashed the Acer 6770m gddr5 vBIOS from the techpowerup VGA database and had to blind flash it back, got nothing from it.

    Mine was a red card tho. I think it may be a Dell. The Dell m4600 is MXM.
    Heres a better price, unfortunately, not if they don't work on other laptops:
    AMD(ATI) FirePro M5950 GPU 1G GDDR5 MXM 3.0 Graphics Card (DP/N: P4R8T)

    Also shipping from china is expensive.

    I think they will work though, and flash to the 6770m vBIOS, just mine is a weird card (00A board, where yours I think was 00B and the Del M5950 is 00C).

    Well this card is a firepro aimed at a standard notebook.

    I was more talking about your 4 output one, either it's for an all in one or a concept card.

    It could also be designed for systems where the internal connection is DisplayPort instead of the usual LVDS/OpenLDI. (The DP spec even contains a specific connector to be used for internal DP links.)

    My card is not purchased from Waresphere.com, those are entirely different with a 00C board while mine and olealienators are 00A and I believe yours was a 00B.
