    It will definitely come in working order, it's directly from Eurocom. They changed their policy a while ago since they had problems with people sending back defect cards... He even states this on the site.

    Keep in mind that the shipping costs are pretty high. But the price of the card is very nice!!
    But I wonder whether this card has vram modules on the back as well, as some other Clevo cards...

    That's just ridiculous. Even with shipping included and the no returns policy the pricing is ridiculous. I remember purchasing two 460Ms from that seller (Eurocom) and he/they was/were nice enough to discount shipping since I ordered two cards.

    Worth it? I'd say yes seeing that the high majority of people who have purchased the 6970M and installed it in their systems WITH CARE haven't had any problems.

    Contact him, I'm pretty sure he'll ship it to Germany, just contact him. He also ships to Switzerland, so it shouldn't be a problem.
