Where in the world can I buy mobile graphics cards!?!?

Im specifically looking at the AMD Radeon™ HD 6950M just because im assuming its a bit less than the AMD Radeon™ HD 6970M which runs about $500....

And there performance is near the same esp with overclocking.

I cant find any retailers, not even on Ebay.

 

It would be cheaper/easier for you to sell your current unit, then reorder with the 6970M.

I don't think you'll see that many 6950M's for sale. Most laptop gpu's bought/sold these days are the 460M, 560M, 4870M, 5870M, 260M and soon 6970M.

 

well logical blue one ( Logical Blue One - Buy Cheap Laptops & Notebooks Online. HP, Toshiba & ASUS Laptop Computer Sale | Logical Blue One) is one where you can pick up a 485M

 

Thats what I was afraid of....

 

I don't think 6950M is an MXM card, I believe it's built-in..could be wrong though.

 

Ah, either way looks like im going to end up selling my new R3

How difficult do you guys think it will be to sell? Its brand new.

 

Your specs are going for about $1600 on Dell outlet, if you are in the return period return it, the 6950 isn't dell supported anyway. 6970 is a few hundred dollar upgrade.

 

Difference is my box is still sealed. So its brand new.

Because its still in the process of being shipped.

And if I sell it I can get alot more. I Bought the laptop for $1457, so if I can get between 1700-1800 for it, I could easily get the 6970m

 

That's cheap, hopefully that wasn't on AAFES because it's against policy to buy them for resale...

 

Then thats def not what im going to do lol. Though if I sold it at some point I never bought it with the intention to resell. So.... I bought it for my own interest and needs, but I want the 6970m, so we will see.

 

I don't know the rules on that, I am just saying you don't want to lose that priv...

 

I agree with this statement. This was not intentional, so you should be all good.

 

I think the resell policy is for people who buy them from AAFES just to put them up on Ebay, CL, etc.

I tried calling last night to get them to upgrade my graphics card to the 6970, but they said its already they cant/wont after the purchase date, and they wouldnt give me a price on the card either.

So I could just buy the one off ebay if I find the 6870 is lacking for my needs.

Though the more I think about it the more I figure it might be fine. I am not overly worried about being able to max every game on the planet, though I always like to have more than I need just incase.....

Thank the military and family for that lol

 

Cant you simply return the notebook and get your money back? What's the policy on this?

 

I dont have time before I get shipped is the issue. Because I cant get mail where im going so I will need it before hand.

 

When you receive it call them and say you want to return it...Return it and get a new one

 

I leave for an undisclosed location 7 days after im supposed to get this one thats being shipped now. I wont have the time to return it and get a new one before im gone.

Once I am gone I can not receive mail untill I get back. Its a secure location in which we will not be allowed to get mail.

 

That sucks. =/

 

That it does, so ill just have to order the card itself when I get back.

 

So you haven't received the notebook yet? Why does your sig say your GPU is overclocked then?

 

I had a 485M in my sig before I actually had it

 

Because thats exactly what im doing when I get it using trixx, and I already have the 8GB of 1600 mhz of ram so that I can install it right after I get it.

 

Did you get rid of it?

 

Returned it due to the whole can't use 3D thing.

 

Ah gotcha.... That would be disappointing...

 

Podunks...get the guys who are taking you to the "undisclosed location" to reimburse you .....seriously

 

Lol the military.
