    gtx 560m on the g53sx have 128bit and less ROP's making it a weaker gpu compared to the 192 bit version

    SOME g74sx models have the gimped 128 bit GTX560m. I know that the bestbuy version where I live has the gimped card. I got the Staples version myself and it has the 192 bit version. Just have to be careful that the one you are buying isnt the ty version.

    Only the G74SX-BBK7 has the gimped card at the moment all of the G53SX models have it. A/XN etc models are fine.
