    AFAIK the 7970M is EOL so is no longer stocked.

    Sager still stocks the 6990M... They quoted me $550 for a replacement last Friday.

    You can get a 7970m for $350-$400 easy.

    7970M was a lot more popular.

    In any case I'm now stuck with a broken video card and without the option to upgrade to the 7970m I'm stuck buying an older model card for a ridiculous price or downgrading to something lessor than when I originally purchased the laptop. :(

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    You can still blindflash the card IIRC.

    That would be great... Do you happen to know where I can get the necessary BIOS as well as where I can buy a Sager 7970m?
