Will the M17x r4 support a GTX 460m?

Title says it all. Due to the GPU burn out and other impending sales I just want to put in a really budget card on the system to keep it functioning for very light gaming. I know this question is somewhat difficult to answer but any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Yes it should work

nice deal here

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M 1.5G DDR5 MXM 3.0b VGA Module | eBay

 

Hey man, thank you so much for your help. How about this Toshiba NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 1 5 GB MXM3 0B Laptop Graphics Card K000127390 | eBay

Will that work?

 

Before you buy anything read the description please. Some cards may actualy not work. Focus on Clevo cards and Dell cards.

This particular 560M will NOT work...it is a card from Toshiba laptop and have different firmware....

If there is no info on the auction as to from where tha card comes from, ask ebay seller from what laptop the card has been pulled out, or who made it ( Dell, Clevo etc... )


So regarding the auction i linked you with 460m...ask seller first from there the card comes from



here is something that comes from Dell, but as you can see price tag is a bit higher, so first wait for "vgacpu2011" response

Good information however you are linking UK links and he US links hehe.

 

Thanks for the info guys. I will place an order for the 460m. Can I use the AMD heatsink on this by rearranging some of the pads? Also are AMD and Nvidia X Brackets different?

 

No, they are different, and the brackets are different, it's always better to use the ones compatible with the video card you are purchasing, check with the seller, video cards usually come with the heatsink.

 

The Heatsink itself is usually the same xbracket not. And pads no.

 

You guys are awesome, thank you so much for all your help
