    Im sick of my 6990m dying on me and decided to look for a replacement. Im not much of a gamer anymore and was wondering if this card would work on my sager 8150?
    Toshiba NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 1 5 GB MXM3 0B Laptop Graphics Card K000127390 | eBay

    I know dell cards have trouble with sagers but what about this toshiba one? Also, does anyone know where i could get a cheap heatsink to fit this card? since im assuming my 6990m one wont work on it?

    Many thanks!

    No, sager/clevo machines must have sager/clevo GPUs in them otherwise the EC will panic and shutdown the machine.

    I would probably think so. I have not known one to work properly.
