    I have a Rock Xtreme Ctx Pro (Clevo M570u) with the above graphics card.

    It looks like the card has failed and so needs replacing, as its heavily used for CAD it really needs to this or better (I believe the FX 3500m may also work)

    Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Does your notebook have an MXM slot or does it have the old clevo connector?

    M570U is the old clevo proprietary connector, thus more difficult to find a replacement.

    The Quadro card is hard to find, I have located one but tooooo expensive!

    So any compatible card will do, I believe some of these can be

    GeForce Go 7950 GTX
    GeForce Go 7900 GTX
    ATI X600
    ATI X800

    Please let me know if you have one you would like to sell.

    Thank you
