    So, apparently the 8530w was released with the option for a quadro fx 2700m graphics card.

    Does anyone have this card?

    It would be the most powerful Nvidia card of that MXM type. As far as i know, the best Nvidia card in MXM II has been widely accepted to be a 32 shader card where the 2700m should have 48.

    I'm very curious to see if they actually have 48 shaders as the specification, or if its like the 3600m which sometimes have 96 shaders and sometimes 64.

    Also I really want to know the codename. The 770m is supposed to be NB9P-GLM, as well as the 1700m, but you'll find a lot of them out there specifically for the 8530w that are NB9P-GLM2.
    The 2700m is supposed to be NB9E-GLM2, but I cant find a definitive meaning or distinction from NB9P-GLM and GLM2, so maybe those are 2700m cards which would be amazing!

    according to the 8530w Maintenance Manual there are only the Quadro FX 770M and the ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 available.
    The Quadro FX 2700M is available with the 8730w.
    I don't know if a FX 2700M would work in a 8530w.
