    as can be seen here> [Guide] G73JW - upgrade with Nvidia GTX 660m

    However, I'm not finding any video or photo showing the notebook working, running the Games. this seems strange.
    there is not no comparison.

    sera that actually works 100%?

    it made me excited, long live the G73!

    I want to buy a card GTX 660M on Ebay, but still am not convinced.

    Very good! excellent!

    I have a doubt, the race was in games with GPU 1200MHz?

    good, with a comparison I did here in the same games. with the same configurations of graph, I get about 20% of atraz Overclock GTX660m.
    has more or less a difference of 6 -7 FPS.

    From my point of view, then, still not worth the investment to get the GTX660m.

    More'm very happy because one of the best laptops from ASUS supports an Upgrade.
    Long life to the G73!

    I hope from now Get the GTX670m few months, this case will offset the investment.
    Here in Brazil it will be very expensive! more worth it

    Yes, it's running with 1200Mhz core clock without any problems, this card is very good overclockable. My stock core clock is 1000Mhz, I raise it only to 1200Mhz, when the fans are running at 100% to ensure a perfect cooling environment.
    If you still don't believe it, buy a ticket and fly over to Europe and convincing yourself.
    For my part the upgrade was worth it, the positives outweigh the negatives by far and with Windows 8 I gained even more performance.
    It would be great, if you're trying to upgrade to a GTX670m, even if this is a Fermi architecture, to see if that works.

    hello!
    never said he did not believe in you, I just wanted more details.

    and the price here in Brazil that this upgrade would cost me, still not worth it to min.
    you have luck! Your government will not MAKE you work half the year just to pay taxes!

    Good luck with your Super G73! no doubt you are very well!
