    judging by the colour i would say yes, but perhaps someone with a dell 6970m can say for sure

    can anyone leave some feedback about this site?

    Seems some people from XDA forum (popular Cellphone forum and essentially the equivalent to NBR) dealt with them . Seems some had success while others were unhappy but its not much to go by really.
    Beware! [Archive] - xda-developers

    I also see they have a Ebay account not sure if that is them with only 17 feedback.

    Seems like a good price just make sure whatever method of payment you use that it can be protected in case things go south.

    Also possibly try to contact someone from there company to make sure its even in stock as alot of these places take your money but dont have anything on hand.

    Don't buy this card, it's not a 6970m it's a firepro M8900. That doesn't work with my M15X

    Firepro is the same as the 6970m, only the VBIOS is different (and there's no CF connector)
    I just flashed a M8900 VBIOS to my 6970m and installed the FirePro driver, works perfectly fine so far.

    For sure it's the same, but this doesn't work. A clevo card flashed with the dell vbios is the same than a dell one. Yet, the fan doesn't work. Moreover, check the waresphere page:"Please kindly wait for our verification for those models. Sincerely sorry about that!"
