    I've been trying to search, but have found conflicting reports.

    Can anyone tell me if an MSI MXM Card would work in the Clevo P170EM?
    I can't find any other cards under $500 that aren't Dell MXM cards...
    It seems everyone says those don't work, so I'm trying to find a high end card that will work with it.
    Any suggestions are more than welcome!

    Thanks.

    Nope, you need a Clevo card... Are you interested in NVIDIA? For around $500 you could get a Clevo 970M.. Much better then 7970M...
