    The MXM card was taken out of a MSI GT72 2QE laptop and I`m trying to sell it on ebay.
    Now I`m getting questions on compatibility between different computers.
    Will this fit for example an Alien ware or is it locked to a msi machine only.

    thanks.

    I'm looking at this on eBay. Got Alienware 17r1. Can't find any perma or SLV VBIOS. I think without this it will throttle. Was going to buy before it was relisted.

    yeah that`s why I was asking here, I don`t want to sell it to anyone and have them find out its no good.
    I want it to go to a good home and make sure I know its going to work. Its a lot of money for people to just to risk on things.

    Ill just keep on relisting it until, someone has a msi laptop or they know it will work.

    @Neo79 was the GT72 2QE a G-Sync Version (Dominator-G) ? If its so, than is the Card only compatible with other GT72 Models.
