    Ive had my np5790 for a little over 3 years now and it's a great machine. Unfortunately the 7950 gtx has burnt out and I need a replacement for it. I've searched ebay and online and haven't found anything that I could replace it with.

    I have also contacted sager about it and from talking to them it sounds like the repair they want to do on it would to be just to try and repair the video card. Ide be much more comfortable with a replacement.

    If anyone knows where I can get a suitable replacement, or an upgrade would be a plus, your help would be much appreciated.

    The M570RU does use MXM cards, it is MXM 2.1 type IV (or III HE) so a type III card should work
