    There is also the system bios which needs the vbios integrated into it.

    sure ?
    Isnt it only save in the card, I think it is because GPU-Z can save my vbios in my asus (using custom MXM)
    (which wasnt possible on my old toshiba in which bios and vbios were fused).
    I even saw 870M's and 770M's QS on the net..
    May be worth the trial :D

    Hmz, looking at it that may be the bios chip in the top corner, in that case your chances are good. The 860M is an upgrade, im not sure it's worth $350 but that's your decision.

    Considering it is designed more for soldered systems they may not but why not shoot for a 970M type card if you are spending that much? The core is very efficient.

    I doubt the G751 motherboard would fit in the G750... So the best bet is the 860 or the 870M... 880M will definetly not work as chasiss for it was modfiied compared to other models..

    What he is saying is if they release the old chassis design with the 965M then it would be around as a separate card.
