    As per title I am wondering if anyone can give me a link to a copy of the vbios for an Alienware / dell with a single 6990m card in place either overclocked or standard clocks is fine. (Gpu-z copy will be perfect)

    many thanks in advance

    Dell vbios will not work on Clevo cards FYI.

    Here's a Dell 6990M vbios (Slickdude sent me this <3 taken from his M17x R3) but it didn't work on my Clevo card. :(

    Cheers for the help peeps, I now just await my 6990m card to turn up to find out if it is a Dell or Clevo version was supposed to be with me today but customs problem been advised will be with me tomorrow. I assume the dell version didn't work due to the slightly different spec's of components on the card's i.e ram etc..

    At least now I have a dell and Clevio vbios available, will take a peak in RBE in the meantime (will not overclock yet as want to see what it does in standard form).
