    Been doing research trying to figure out and its a back and forth weather all G74SX have the 192 bit GPU. From what i have read, only the ones from Best Buy seem to have 128 bit card, some say "no the walmart versions are the one that has the 128 bit", and in general some are saying they all have 128 bit.

    I will be buying from Amazon.ca and the seller is ASUS. So is it safe to say that its a sure thing, that it will have the 192 bit card ?

    ASUS G74SX-XC1 Republic of Gamers 17.3-Inch Laptop (Black): Amazon.ca: Electronics

    Any info would be great thanks

    * searched but didn't find any info related to amazon*

    if you pay attention to the technical details, it says 3GB GDDR5 which means it is the 192 bit (as far as i know the 128bit has 2gb)

    so i guess it is 192bit because of 3gb :)

    hope i helped.
