    Hi guys!
    First of all sry for my bad English ^^

    So my question is.. whitch card will work for me?
    At the moment thee is a NVIDIA GeForce 635m 2GB inside...
    The System: Win7 64Bit/i7/16GB

    I have open my laptop and have seen that the card is removable ... seems Like it's a MXM and I was happy because I really want to upgrade but the form is different than what I see for the MXM 3 standard on eBay ...

    Someone of in have maybe upgrade the same laptop successfully ?

    Whitch one can I use and whitch is the best card available?

    I am not sure about the Asus machine but I know with my Samsung the card is a MXM but there are two issues.

    1.) the acrd is a proprietary implementation of MXM.

    2.) the vBios is embedded within the actual bios chip.

    IIRC, Asus MXM cards have a proprietary connection, so you would need to get one that's been pulled from another Asus. That, and you need to make sure your system and the card's vBIOS are compatible.

    There are many new notebooks coming out for less than $900 that have GTX 1050 and 1050Ti cards in them. Save your money for one of those.

    All the more reason to save up for a new system. There's no guarantee that you'll be able to find a compatible part, and even if you do, it's not going to be cheap.
