So I recently bought a GPU from E-bay that is supposed to be a GTX 560M for my M15x laptop. To my surprise both of them noticed that the pins did not fit easily as my previous GPU; the GTX 260M. We installed it and then tried to boot it up but it gave a double beep (Which means that the GPU isn't recognizing the mobo). We tried it again to confirmed that it was a double beep. We noticed that the bottom right corner pins that are normally smooth weren't there. I'm not sure if this is a MxM 3.0B setting .... I have left an attachment with a low resolution pic of the GPU. I can provide better pics if needed. Can someone confirm that this is the GPU or if its something totally different? Thanks for the help!
