Really appreciate you guys weighing in on this string. Very very helpful...& encouraging! Very thankful you guys think like I do. I, too, was thinking about getting a "Parts Only" 7720 w/ P5000; definitely tracking w/ you guys. Strongly agree, 1200 clams for a computer part is pretty wack. I feel well-armed for battle thanks to you brothers-in-arms!

Wow, what an enormous price disparity between P4000 & P5000 for the Precision 7720. Under $200 for used P4000 up to $1,200 & only available overseas for P5000. Dang. So P5000 is that good, huh? I've seen various posters state that you shouldn't buy used models of these cards. Just regular buyer beware on used stuff, or is there a specific reason to steer clear of used P4000/P5000? In addition, I thought this thread was mainly about the graphics cards for Dell Precision 7720's & similar. But I see folks mentioning graphics cards that I can only find for PC's/towers/full-size form factor boxes. For example, is there some version of a GTX 1070 made for a notebook? All I can find is this guy doing a GTX 1070 card...no clue where he got it from...on a Precision 7710, but sounds like some light modding is needed...

Hey, Mr. Fox, I see you are mucho mucho busy taking good care of folks on this site, so I REALLY appreciate you helping me out with this guidance!

Using a Precision 7720 with a P3000 in this case. Noticed it struggles with BF2 Nations at War stand-alone mod, for example, & some dual-monitor activities. I'm a little confused by a previous poster, though. You saying these normally came with P5000? Benchmarking sites make it appear that the older P5000 is a better card than P3000. I'm new to upgrading the 7x20 platform. Definitely did many mods on the old Precision M6600, but maxxed out the AMD FirePro GPU there, so I'm learning my way on the Nvidia GPU's for these notebooks. Ultimately, you guys recommend P4000 or P5000, to upgrade me away from this P3000?
