So my graphics card on my alienware is fried, but the problem is.. Its an old model from 2009.
will alienware replace my GPU for free? or will i have to pay for the fix as it is quite old, i have never used any warranty on the laptop?
On a side note: Whats the Best GPU i can get for the Alienware M17x R2? it currently has 2x ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4870?

Thanks :D

you should check the slot that your current video card uses and power draw. providing something newer uses the same slot and draws the same or less power you will then need to make sure your heatsink will fit the new card.


If you go on ebay you can find plenty of video cards and replacement heatsinks for cheap usually.
