A few months back we bought a G73jh for $450. They stripped it of a 500GB drive and 2GB of memory, which should have been a warning sign to the fact that they sold us a broken notebook. The AMD Mobility HD 5870 is complete shit. Anytime you do anything graphics intensive such as gaming or a movie through a GPU-processing-enabled player it starts artifacting, screwing up on-screen text/objects, and freezes requiring a hard restart. We've been able to use it alright though, just for things that aren't GPU intensive.
Seeing that this isn't right, I'd like to replace the card. It's almost 2 years old now so RMAing is not an option. So some questions are: What interface is the card so I'll know what kind to look for? Also, where could I buy a card that would fit it? I don't care if the card is fast or powerful, I just want it to work properly.
Here's a video of how to get to the internals, but I couldn't even tell if the video card could be taken off of the motherboard...
