I don't see why not. I use it to control the fans for my 6990's

Re: [Guide] Installing AMD Radeon Mobility 6970 / 6990 in your M17x R2 (Single GPU and CrossfireX)
hello all, just curious as to how long the wait time for upgradeyourlaptop to ship is? also can anyone with an r2 w/6990/xfire confirm 3D capability or is it just not possible?

Re: [Guide] Installing AMD Radeon Mobility 6970 / 6990 in your M17x R2 (Single GPU and CrossfireX)
The R2's never supported 3D
For starters the R2 screens do not support a high enough refresh rate. And on top of that, I am pretty sure the R3's don't allow 3D on an external monitor. Only on the laptop screen so definitely no chance of outputting to external
Not sure about the wait time, sorry

The R2 can output 120Hz thru DisplayPort, not sure about AMD cards and their drivers though.

Re: [Guide] Installing AMD Radeon Mobility 6970 / 6990 in your M17x R2 (Single GPU and CrossfireX)
yup i didn't think the screen supported 3D either, and was wondering about outputting to external too thanks for the help!
yeah at this point i'm a little worried about my purchase; it's been a week and i'm not sure what the problem is, maybe i'm just overreacting? :/
edit: ah so there is hope for 3D... will look into it thank you katalin!M17x-R2 Space Black | i7-920xM | 6990M CrossFireX | 1920x1200 RGB LED | Killer 1103 | USB 3.0

I got my cards from them in about 10 days from when I purchased them. Depending on your location..I'm in Arizona, but they shipped from NY...so it could be sooner then that.

True, but so far the DisplayPort does not work after the upgrade.

Hello there, will test the Display Port when I return home in a week's time
Doesn't the below comment by Aristotelhs2060 mean it works?

Re: [Guide] Installing AMD Radeon Mobility 6970 / 6990 in your M17x R2 (Single GPU and CrossfireX)
Looking forward to you giving this a shot!!!
It seems that not many people actually have DP monitors to test this out....
As per Aristotelhs2060's comment, unfortunately not
He is probably using a passive DisplayPort to HDMI adapter which is actually using one of the two video clock signals of the card. I can output VGA on my DP port just fine using a passive VGA adapter.
It is when we want to actually use the DP signal either by using an active adapter or literally a DP monitor, that we seem to have a problem. The reason that I would like to do this is for Eyefinity. Being that there is a limit of two clock signals on the card, you have to use a DP signal on the third screen.
Seems like AMD cut corners to me, but what can ya do!Black Alienware M17x-R2 -- A10 Modded BIOS -- i7-920xm overclocked -- 8GB RAM -- 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD + 500GB HDD + 500GB HDD (Slot Caddy Mod)-- 2 x 6990m ES Xfire -- 1920x1200 RGB screen -- USB 3.0 -- 480 watt PSU -- NZXT Cryo LX -- Razer Naga Epic Elite
