That's a Graphic CHIP for a laptop... You will not be able to purchase one separately to my knowledge. They are usually soldered directly on the laptop's motherboard during production.

You can find them on eBay,but good luck doing soldering it to your laptopMonsieurX
It's quite common to find a discrete video card in a laptop if it's got a high end GPU. If the TC has an appropriate MXM slot, there's a good chance he'll be able to swap out his laptop's current card for the 580M (assuming he can find one).

I've found one on Ebay for ~$750 USD after shipping. There's also one at RJTech.com for $800 in what I'm assuming is USD. I've never ordered from the latter site before, so I don't know how reliable they are.

lmao wow......i could build a great desktop fr that price. I think this is the first time I've seen a laptop with a removable GPU, that's just not worth it at all[QUOTE="C_Rule"][QUOTE="GdG"]But...

TBH, I reckon it'll only dramatically go down in price when it becomes obsolete. A while back I helped a buddy replace his laptops 9600M GT with a ATi 4650M, and the OEM video card cost a good $150 on an auction on Ebay; this was a good one and a half years after the launch of the 4XXX mobile cards. :?
MXM cards are hard to come by since they release them to manufactures in limited amounts only when the machines are built.
MXM Upgrade has a decent supply whenever they can get ahold of them. Obviously these things are insanely expensive. I had to do an update from a ATI 9600 in a Dell XPS Gen 1 to a 9800 Mobile which went fine.

I think this is the first time I've seen a laptop with a removable GPU, that's just not worth it at all to a certain i completely agree with you in terms of price but you can honestly build a mediocre desktop for 800 bucks! also the trade-off is you get to take your pc anywhere. But ya you should see the M18X is a behemoth of a laptop so I they have more than enough space. They also told me the processor could be changed but it is wayyyyyy too costly[QUOTE="wis3boi"][QUOTE="GS550L"]lmao wow......i could build a great desktop fr that price.

Medicore ? You can build a tower with a quad core processor , $100 motherboard, 8gb ram, case with three fans, 80+ certified 550w powersupply, HD6970 video card, 1TB harddrive and dvd drive for around $750........ (I could cut $200 easily off the price and still make it a mid ranged build that can max almost every single game at 1080p......) Don't see where your getting mediocore fromI've found one on Ebay for ~$750 USD after shipping. There's also one at RJTech.com

[QUOTE="mastershake575"]ok I agree I was probably wrong, but you surely cant max out every game on those specs With a 6970 no problem (there might be only 1 or 2 poorly optimized games that it CAN"T max) Not only that but over 90% of games in the last two years will avg at least 60fps. As for the $200 statement, you could go with 4GB ram and drop to either a gtx560/HD6950 and still max almost every single game at 1080p (if you don't believe me and go read any benchmark)[QUOTE="GdG"] GdG
