Dell 6970m [FirePro] 380$/350$ MXM 3.0b - waresphere.com

AMD (ATI) FirePro M8900 GPU 2G GDDR5 MXM 3.0 Graphics Card (DP/N: 6W46K)

Great deal here. Shipping is a little pricey, but even so.

They told me they would give the same discount if you want to buy another item rather than 2 6970m/m8900.

They also have Quadro 3000m for 285$, 255$ with discount, MSI gtx 560m for 320$, Quadro 4000m for 550$/520$.

Recently they had some ATI 5730 for 40$ with discount.

Soon they will have some FirePro m5950 AKA 6770m gddr5, in MXM 3.0 A.
And they have this LCD which is supposed to be a very good matte LCD:
Chi Mei 17.3" FHD LCD Panel for DELL M6600 L702X (N173HGE-L11)

I heard from someone here that a german site tested the contrast at 1000:1

I have chatted with their sales agent a little and am engaging in a longer conversation with their support guy about ES/QS cards. Yes a few of their cards are QS/ES, but they don't try to hide it (they give you a choice for the 4000m).

Apparently there are some issues with the 6970m on the p170hm. Does anyone know who this buyer may be?
Anyway I've told them someone would probably be happy to buy and try to test a dell 6970m vBIOS if there are issues on their Clevo machine.

 

I know the M15x owners who ordered this card had issues getting it working and ultimately never did so i believe they were trying to get a refund.

They bought the cards from Waresphere btw.

Compatibility may be higher in other machines though so its hard to rule out the card as not being good in everything.

I believe this card lacks the crossfire connector in case some R2 owners were looking at this for a cheaper alternative. The PCB has the points for it but the connector is just not there.
