Hello all, you may have seen my other recent post about wanting to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad P71 (which I still am looking for)
Also if anyone is parting out, I would also like to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad Specific P5000 MXM card, In case I come across a lower spec unit.
I see plenty of Dell P5000 cards for sale on ebay, but honestly I am unsure about doing the swap because of the Whitelisting issues/ flashing the Vbios unless any of y'all have any experience with that or transplanting non Lenovo Specific cards. As it stands I cannot find the correct Lenovo specific Vbios for the P5000.
Willing to learn, or buy. Please let me know!

Re: WANT TO BUY Lenovo Specific P5000 MXM GPU
I just read your post about a P71, but you will gain a big power boost if you have an HX CPU.
The rendering power on my MSI Raider GE78 was much much more faster than the Dell Precision 7730 w/ a P4200 GPU and Xeon E-2176m.
I spent about $1200 for the MSI about a year ago, and the 7730 was about $1100 (three years ago) after parts needed to fix it.

Re: WANT TO BUY Lenovo Specific P5000 MXM GPU
Hey thanks for replying, while it would be nice to have something higher end the P71 is more than enough and much easier on my wallet, plus I love all the port options. The P5000 would be a cherry on top.
