Update:

All stuff arrived to install the card Unfortunately my R2 wont recognize the 7970M

She gives me no GPU beeps when the 015.022 vbios flashed, and no display at all when 015.017 vbios used. Only no GPU error blinking (caps+ scroll + steady num lock) Officially GPU preventing the system to complete post.

And now the exciting part are: when i flash back the 015.022 vbios and have the card in my friends m17x-r3 it post and installs. we played games for half a day no freezing or artifacts.

Conclusion: The card rev A00 with vbios 015.022 DOES NOT WORK in the R2 nor the 015.17 vbios.

Hi, I upgraded my M17X R3 to 7970m from Upgrademonkey. After 3 days of different tests now the laptop boots and loads Win correctly, bus as soon as I run any game it shows artifacts for a short while, after that white screnn with vertical lines and crash.

Do you know what BIOS and driver was you friend using by the time it worked?

Could you post the link to the guide he followed?

Thx
