    hey everyone.
    just thought i should post this up

    ATI Mobility Radeon? HD 6990m GPU MXM 3.0 Type B | eBay

    i have bought two of them to upgrade my m17xr2
    i have been told by the seller that they have the clevo vbios installed, but had to get back to me as to weither or not they are xfire.
    (they said they would email me the intructions and the vbios to install them.)

    PS. i was flipping through the incredibly long 6970 upgrade thread and saw one or two people did not get screws with theirs. the seller has stated that the cards come with screws and heat spreader.

    Yeah I bought my 6990M from him, really great seller. I will find out tomorrow if it will work on a R3 with stock Clevo vbios. Came with an X backplate and no screws.

    He accepts offers for 400 C $ also
