    jaredmccoy, today is your lucky day. That 8800M GTX will work perfectly in your M570RU as the card was also pulled from an M570RU. It's a match made in heaven.

    no the GTX 260M can beat a 8800M GTX easily. Also isn't there a way to connect notebook GPU to a laptop and use it as an external GPU ?

    I actually ordered/received/installed last week. He had like 10 at the time I believe. It comes with the heatsink but no sli cable. It was just a good deal compared to what you can get a used one for around here and I wanted to share in case anyone else was in need of one.

    It would potentially be possible but then you're gonna be walking around with a laptop that won't work unless you carry a seperate GPU + power supply with you too.

    Its too much of a hassle.

    The ViDock, however, can kinda do this with ATI Radeon desktop GPUs
