    From what I've read, the small increase in performance won't be worth the huge cost of a completely new GPU. You can always sell the 6970m, though.


    You can always ask Sager/Clevo Resellers. They may sell you the part without the laptop attached.

    $480 for (card + PSU). But you have to add the $80 DHL shipping.
    It's already available, and it should remain available for long time ;)

    Actually that's a thing of the past.

    Just like NVIDIA's 9800 fiasco.

    I think you may be confusing your 9 series with the Nvidia 8 series solder/overheating issues.These were the ones that died early heat deaths and that people had luck baking in the oven. :D

    Lol, yeah I know for a fact that the 8 series had problems...I do think that a few 9 series were affected as well. I'm not entirely certain though. The point is made however....that ATI's driver issues are a thing of the past.

    LOL really? Really? You want to do it that way? :p

    Jk, using images to answer a question is actually against the forum rules.

    At least outside of the off topic forum

    Seems that would be because you can't index an image for search. Seeing as the search is borked, does it matter?
