    So im having trouble with the HDMI functions after installing this card in my M17x R3.

    Talking to Eurocom, they are convinced this card does not support HDMI out or in functions.

    Trying not to sound stupid, what does this mean? I find it hard to believe these card's dont support it. Perhaps its just Eurocom cards.

    Has anyone else, bought and succesfully installed from Eurocom?

    Haven't installed an Eurocom, but as far as I know the 7970m supports HDMI in and out.

    It might not because the R3 was designed for Dell validated cards, not Clevo.

    Sent from my GT-N7000

    Thanks for replying. I asked them if this was a clevo card and they are being evasive. I'll chase them up on that.

    Do you think a Vbios reflash could do the trick? Im way out of my depth here.

    BTW, confirmed by eurocom, its a Clevo card.

    Damn....
