    The graphic card of my Clevo M570RU is almost dead (only shows image in external monitor, and even watching streams it usually fails...

    I had a 8700M GT (is dead) and now i have a Quadro FX 3700M (that is almost dead), what graphics can i buy to replace this one?

    Because i bought a new notebook, my M570RU won't be used daily, probably only to web, casual games, office, movies, so i don't want to spend a lot to fix it.

    I've been looking to this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clevo-M57RU...0M-Video-Card-Test-Free-Shipping/261878051672

    My old 8700M is V2.0, what is the difference to the V1.0B?

    About the termal pads, http://www.ebay.com/itm/GPU-CPU-Hea...licone-Pad-100mmx100mmx2mm-li2o-/191482422575 is this good enough?

    I am still using my 3700M . I have been gaming on it occasionally. I would suggest the same card.

    It's the most reliable of the lot I believe.

    glad to see another old skool clevo is still in use even though the gpu has now died.

    my clevo m860tu from the same time 2008 is still going strong with a 260gtx but im not sure this will fit in your m570ru
    maybe @Meaker@Sager might be able to advise on that.
    apart from that and like said above the 3700M would be the best for you now if you can find a compatible clevo version.

    Depends on the mxm connection used (the correct ones are pretty rare at this point).

    They are getting rarer now as they are obviously out of production.

    I imagine it refers to a minor PCB revision. The seller seems to deal in sales and repairs; maybe they have enough technical knowledge about it to answer that question for you. Have you tried contacting the seller?

    They look fine. You can trim them to suit your needs.
