    R4 should come with a more powerful card than the 6970m. Can't imagine it would be a problem though.

    Try using the same drivers that upgradeyourlaptop on ebay has posted.

    Can't guarantee it would work though.

    I don't see why it wouldn't work, it's not officially supported though, pretty sure you would have to modify the INF files on the drivers.
