    Hello,

    I was thinking to update my labtop graphics card. But after few hours of intensive search i fount out that the choise in those cards is very limited. The only ones i could find were all on E-bay. And they are far from impressive: ATI 3650, Nvidia 9600m gt(gs), 9650m gt and gtx 280m (that's it !). I was hoping to find at least some of the last generation cards like Nvidia 250m or ATI mobility 5750. But nothing out there.

    So, the question is: Who/Where/How can u buy latest graphics card (retailers are getting them somehow ) for labtop?

    PLEASE DO NOT POST anything, if you don't know (there are already enough useless posts out there).

    Thank you

    First, your laptop has to be able to upgrade its graphics card. What laptop do you have, with specs?

    Yes, it is capable. MXM II module. Same as for example ATI mobility 5750, 5770.

    But the question remains - where can i get(buy) them?

    www.rjtech.com, it has some GPUs for Laptops, 260m, 280m, 285m, and supposedly 5870m soon. Im hoping to get 5870m from them once it is confirmed that it will be able to work in M15x :) good luck

    just found this website for MXM 2

    http://www.mxm-upgrade.com/store.html

    look under platform 1/2.1- see if your notebook is listed then whatever you are able to upgrade to?
