Selenium 10 Posted March 1, 2015 I wouldn't particularly recommend buying such a thing from eBay, y'know, just in case.But first off, you'd need to research what other graphics cards would be compatible with that model of computer. Gotta make sure it works!If you find such a thing and look it up by name, you should find information about whether flashing is needed or not. I think your best bet would be to ask those sorts of questions in the MSI section of this very forum. Likely that there are people who already own/have owned what you have that can help you out. MSIGood luck, in any case. I'm looking into all this sort of stuff myself, right now. It can be a bit confusing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would not suggest any other seller and buying directly from him. Got my k4000m for 400$ and the bios here just makes even the 980m GTX stock look overpriced.

hans123 14 Posted March 4, 2015 Hello, Buying notebook graphik cards in ebay is not a big problem. I had a GT70 already and i installed the GTX 680M 780M and 880M succesfully in this machine. If you need any help you can pm me Best regards! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zacb01 10 Posted March 5, 2015 RJTech.com sells the 970m for $450.00 USD. If you were to buy this card on Ebay you will spend $600 plus.I don't know if this violates any rule so for the sake of rules I won't too revealing until I am given the okay but there is a thread about this on a different site. If by saying this I am violating a rule, I apologize. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's over $400 more than what I paid for off eBay. eBay is definitely a viable option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
