ECOTOX Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 So looking to upgrade my lappy from the 6800, but the 4670 on mxm upgrade is a bit pricey @ 260$. I was looking on ebay and came across a few 7900GS and 7900GTX cards with GDDR3 vs the 4670's DDR2 of the right type and form factor for my system. I just want to know if the 7900GS/GTX are usable in this system or if I'm SOL in that regard, and if they do work what brand? These are from a couple alienware systems so I figure these are some of the more likely to work. :> ty for any replies on another note i also found a 7950gtx for a good price too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quipster Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Your best pick for this machine would be a 9600m GT or a 770M Quadro. Both cards need their V-Bios modded in order to run properly, but that's an easy procedure really, check out the other threads on this topic.

ECOTOX Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) really :| 9600m gt huh? :3 i suppose, theres nothing with more horsepower? would a 9700m gt work? :O ty for the reply Edited November 3, 2012 by ECOTOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quipster Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Yes, 9700M GT will also work perfectly with a Bios mod. Without the mod, the clocks would be limited to throttled 3D, and you'd have 30 second error message, resulting in a startup delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
