Aaron Honeycutt (System76) Feb 25, 2022, 11:56 AM MST Hello Charles, We do not have these GPUs any longer and due to the age we do not have the part numbers either.

well I do believe that they don't carry it anymore , but don't even know the part #'s ?

so I just replied

For $250 a GPU with a 3 star rating, and more 1 stars than 5 stars, I'd hold off buying that, and perhaps putting that money into a new laptop in the $250-400 range.

I also noticed what GreyGeek noticed. You sure don't want problems with another GPU at 250 bucks.

well I am not so ready to trash a $2400 laptop for a GPU yet ,,, i am still considering replacing the GPU at 200-300 aspeshaly when it's only 3 reviews and one low one is about the heat sink which I have on the installed one ?

The two negative reviews can be totally discounted. The one about the missing spider was answered in the Q&A, and Vinny has the old one. The one about a 2 day failure should have been referred to Amazon for a refund/replace, instead of a moan and groan review..

So it looks like it might be a decent replacement.

Well, vinny will pay $250 to find out.

He will ,,but it will be a while their are a few more pressing things to spend money on at the moment , like reuping the tag on the truck and finishing the payments on this $275 chromebook we bought to have a way to pay bills and webbrows in the meantime

Hello Charles,
