ATI HD 7970M ON ASUS G73Jh

Wanting to do this mod but cannot find the Clenovo cards anywhere.

I have come across MSI and Dell/Alienware ones.
Would these work? Reading mixed things in this massive thread.
Fans at 100% are not a issue for me.

MSI: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-GX60-GX...727816?hash=item4d33094708:g:~xcAAOSwBahVaH63

Alienware: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-AMD-79...776813?hash=item236239492d:g:pPQAAOSwBahVHLRB

 

I don't know if I would still try the upgrade. In most modern games the problem seems to be the cpu and not gpu load. I often have only 50-70% gpu load while playing, which means my CPU can't load it full.
Don't forget that the machine is already 5 years old.

 

The DELL won't for sure. The MSI from the looks of it has the same pcb components so again no.

Hi people, I want to upgrade my G73JH edition VGA card ATI 5870m to ATI 7970m. CPU upgrade I have done. My new CPU is i7-940xm oem ver. Please TnF which of this card pass to my NB? Which version is 1.2 on this card?

Well the dell one (first) won't work properly. The second one is the clevo one and this is your best bet. Normally it has a sticker if i remember well saying if v1.2. But this one is used so they might removed the sticker. So ask first, and if this is the only option just buy it test it, and if it doesn't work send it back.

 

Thank you TnF for your soonest answer . You very inspired me and I dissasembled my NB more than 5 times . Btw, If look on this your picture http://imgur.com/cAmzr4Z, I read numbers 109-C42957-00B behind AMD mark bottom of card. Hmmm, my first option has same numbers and symbols. P.S.: TnF Could you reup this bios file please: http://www53.zippyshare.com/v/36867216/file.html. Thanks a lot for your perfect guide friend .

P.S.2: My work: speedy CPU i7 940xm & dead CLEVO ATI 6990m GPU upgrade with MX-2 thermal paste, but without CPU lapping .

Isn't that pic from my thread where i installed a DELL card and didn't work as supposed to in the end? (stuck clocks) You need a CLEVO card, otherwise it won't work sadly. I couldn't even return mine back then so i re-sold it on ebay. Also the base screw you can desolder and re-solder with a very strong iron, but it is best to just screw another one instead because you can partially damage the mobo.
Here i re-uploaded the file: http://www108.zippyshare.com/v/uQSymNa0/file.html
Hehe, have fun man, mine is still running strong (i don't have any better PC yet)

 

Seller said to me that CLEVO VGA 7970M is ver 1.0 , but he will try to look for new ver 1.2. I hope that he find it . Thanks for your reup. I downloaded it all, but I dont know which ver. bios is right for me .

 

Hello people I also have the Asus ROG G73JH storage with 4 slots. I want to replace the graphics card necessarily.

I just get nowhere unfortunately the Clevo card with version 1.4.

the Alienware / Dell 7970M already but does not go well

What possibilities I have possibly a 8970m of clevo

I can also describe a SOP8 programmers externally the bios.

I really want to keep the device


I have allready the Dell Powersuply with 240watt

Sorry for my bad Englisch

Hallo Leute Ich habe auch das Asus ROG G73JH mit den 4 Speicher Steckplätzen. Ich möchte auch die Grafikkarte unbedingt austauschen .

Ich bekomme nur leider nirgendswo die Clevo karte mit der Version 1.4 .

die Alienware/Dell 7970m schon aber die geht wohl nicht

Welche möglichkeiten habe ich noch eventuell eine 8970m von clevo

Ich kann das bios auch über einen sop8 programierer extern beschreiben .

Ich möchte unbedingt das Gerät behalten

Hi Everyone.

I am new to these forums and would like to ask a few questions.

I have a G73JH with 5870m..Looking to upgrade to 7970m (or better if possible). I read that hte best option is the Clevo 7970m v1.2.

1. Can somone point me to a good how-to.
2. Does anyone have the vbios needed to allow the Clevo 7970m to work in the G73JH.

Before upgrade, needed improove heatsinks
