    Hello -

    Is there any chance that I can replace the 260m in my G51J with a another nVidia card? I would like one that supports 3DTVPlay and for some odd reason, nVidia hasnt added support for the 260m.

    Thanks!

    any other asus card is weaker , i think the gts 360m will maybe work in it , but it is a weaker card

    Yeah, I was afraid of that - I have no idea why nVidia doesnt support the 260m in the 3DPlayTV product, while they support weaker cards for it. I want to get the 260m working with my GT750 Projector....
