Very good list __-_-_-__ (???)
Here you can find spare parts for laptops and some of them are graphic cards
http://www.mk-electronic.com/
http://www.zandparts.com/acer/index.php?cPath=561_562

There is also another that sells occasionally cards in ebay
http://www.mxmvideoquest.com/index.html

And also there is eshop in USA that sells 8600M GT MXM II
http://www.excaliberpc.com/582445/asus-nvidia-8600m-gt-256mb.html

 

doesn't any one have a link from the dell store or something that sells some cards?

 

I think RJTech will sell em', you should findout

 

I think you should put more info next to the links, e.g. whether it's an MXM card or a graphics card that fits in a specific laptop.

 

that's not easy to do because the market is always changing and in this particular case the market is very vulnerable.
And it's hard to say if it fits in a specific laptop, as you known there are many compatibility issues. But I'll try to organize things better.

 

Hey, good job on the list, this should be very helpful.

Fortunately for me I've got Alienware laptops so all I have to do is go to them. I've got my 3870's for my M9750 and as soon as the 4870's with DDR5 comes out I'll have them for my M17.

 

Cool, ive been trying to find some good notebook cards. Just to see what is out there.

 

this should be a sticky.

 

This is a nice topic. I'll be trying to get some GTX 260M prices this week, and I'll let you know if I hear anything.

 

Yea, great list, but unfortunately for me ASUS uses their own inverted MXM design, so I'm all out of luck unless I buy through ASUS.

 

is it just me or do these cards cost more than a new laptop?

 

check some of those links, some are for asus. actualy it's easy to find some 8600M GT DDR2 and DDR3 version for the asus c90. Though other cards are difficult...

it really depends in what you want. but upgrading a notebook, CPU+RAM+HDD+GRAPHICS is a LOT more cheap then just buy a new one every X years. Of course manufacturers wants you to buy new notebooks they make much more profit that's why MXM was not fully implemented.
Some of the cards are exepensive, eurocom have the largest available list but they are always overpriced like in their notebooks, but they do price match. don't known if they do it for components.
high-end cards are always expensive, this is valid for desktops too. MXM cards should be a bit more expensive due to their special thermal and energy specifications but (sometimes) they don't require an heatsink and that saves some manufacturing costs so they shouldn't be so expensive.
And don't compare a $500 cheap notebook with an intel integrated card with a high-end notebook like the clevo d901c... of course just the clevo graphic cards can be more expensive then a new notebook. and high end desktop graphic cards can cost up to $700

 

The Dell XPS M1730 don't even use MXM! it's a weird Dual card in 1 board setup! Wonder if there would be any 4870's or GTX280's in that config? Anyone know what kinda tech it's called?

 

well... it depends in what you consider mxm. the pinout layout is the same but they make it proprietary. I didn't known about that dual config but it's the same as dual gpu desktop graphic cards. it's just a new thing in notebooks. not sure if it has some benefits.

 

Great list, i want to find some HD 48** series cards

 

RJTech also sells the GTX 260M for $480. I've confirmed this through email.

Same here. I'd love to get my hands on a 4870, but they're nowhere to be found.

EDIT: the 4870s were just confirmed to be coming for the new M17x, so Dell will be selling them. Might be MXM 3.0 though...

 

Anybody know where I can find any of these?
Nvidia 9700M gt
Nvidia 9800gs
ATI 3850
ATI 3870 <- this one is in the list in first post
ATI 4850

 

anyone know where i can get 7950 gtxs? one of those links puts them at £700!!!

 

they are rare and are not made anymore so they will be quite expensive

 

Yep, you can get a g50vt for the price of one of those...

 

Anyone know where can get 9800m gts@gtx 260m and can ship to malaysia?

 

If you haven't followed the theme of this thread... you can entire gaming notebooks sent to you in malaysia for that price.

 

many people trying to find a 4650 or a 4670. you can find them here:

I almost got a GTX 280M for £125 a few days on ebay but some bleep bumped it up to £250 at the last minute....grr

 

hmm

Here are ~60 in stock better priced 3700m HP nVidia QuadroFX 3700M 1GB Video Card NB9E-GLM3 - eBay (item 390257490545 end time Nov-28-10 09:04:56 PST)
The 3700m is the 2nd to 3rd most powerful nvidia MXM 2.1 III card ever made. It has the same 128 shader count of the gtx 280m, some of these HP cards will simply work as gtx 280m and overclock if you flash the VBIOS.

Here are some decent priced fx 770m 512mb ddr3 which can probably be flashed to 9600m GT
"HP 502338-001 8530P 8530W VIDEO CARD 512MB " - eBay (item 170552670873 end time Nov-13-10 07:57:35 PST)

2700m also work. 1600m DO NOT. 3600m do not work with built in displays unless you VBIOS flash to 9800m.

It should also be know that servers use MXM cards as you can see here 256MB HP / COMPAQ FX560M MEZZANINE CARD 469067-B21 - eBay (item 400169611826 end time Nov-09-10 20:05:15 PST)
