    i can't find online deals for my Clevo p150hm (Sager np8150), it had an HD6990m but it fried....

    i need to buy a card online as i live in JORDAN.

    it can take any of those cards according to Eurocom: Upgradable MXM 3.0b; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M; 675M; 670M; 580M, GTX 560M, GTX 485M; GTX 480M; GTX 470M; GTX 460M; Quadro K5000M; 5010M, FX 4000M and FX 3000M or AMD Radeon HD6990M, HD6970M

    Get a 680M GTX - best choice overall.
    675M; 670M; 580M, GTX 560M, GTX 485M; GTX 480M; GTX 470M; GTX 460M, 5010M, 4000M and 3000M are all Fermi based chips and are really unrealiable.
    Same (if not worse) goes with AMD Radeon HD6990M, HD6970M

    K series Quadros ( K5000M, K4000M etc. are good) - cause also Kepler based (like 680M GTX), but usually quite expensive, so no sense getting these unless you really need Quadro card.

    you can always provide GTX 460M/560M - this is cheapest option. We mean of course new card with 12 months warranty. Let us know.

    They wont be able to discuss prices openly on the forum. I suggest emailing them if you have such questions.

    Also: It should be a Clevo card, not a Dell card.

    Can't confirm that but Dell cards have different firmware, so usually the cards are not interchangeable, i.e. you cannot put a Dell card in a Clevo nor a Clevo card in a Dell. It has been done, but is rare.

    It can depend on the BIOS version, the thing is there are exceptions to the rules but they tend to be very specific, eg a 675MX may work but a 680M will not. So unless someone says they have one working themselves it can be hard to know for sure.
