The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
That's interesting; unfortunately, I can't get a hold of the MXM specifications, but if I recall correctly, that suggests that the NVidia card is of the HE variety - the extra column of pins being there for added power supply, I believe - while the ATi card is not an HE subversion of the MXM "standard," implying, if I recall correctly, that it may run cooler.
Also, just to give Clevo a little bit of the benefit where it's due - as of the debut of the 8800M, NVidia decided to start manufacturing a lot more of the overall GPU card in-house instead of basically shipping loose chips to the vendors so each vendor could custom-design its own PCB/GPU layout. As far as I know, this new regime still applies to the new 9-series, so the construction of the NVidia-based GPU is more the fault (if you will) of NVidia than of Clevo.
