    Hey guyz,
    do you know if the D900F is getting any support for a DX11 card? Or perhaps someone already tried installing a mobility 5870?

    you cant use them im afraid they are not supported in any of the bios's and have little faith they ever will be from what i have heard

    Your best bet is to get a fermi mobility providing they update the bios to take it

    There must be a way to dump and tweak the BIOS to add the code for the 5870 support?
    You could ask Zfactor about it.
    Don't lose hope so fast. ;)

    Unfortunately clevo used phoenix trustedcore which is not editable afaik.
    Many have tried (adding OC support etc) and all have failed.
