    Hi, I'm very Happy with my CLEVO M860 TU rev.3.0, with this hardware:

    CPU Intel Core2 Duo P9500
    RAM 4GB
    GPU Nvidia 9800m GTS - 1GB vram

    So, I would upgrade my system...

    I see , Clevo m860 CU that can mount GTX260m, It's solded also with HD5870mobility...

    I Know that my M860tu can use GTX260m; do you think that also hd5870 could run in this notebook?


    Sorry for my bad english, and thank's in advance...

    It can't be done. M860TU uses MXM 2.1, the W860CU uses MXM 3.0.

    The GTX 260M in the M860TU is MXM 2.1 revision, while the GTX 260M in the W860CU is MXM 3.0B.

    So the Mobility 5870 that fits in the W860CU won't fit in the M860TU.

    That is still for the W8xxCU, so MXM 3.0B, and not compatible with the M860TU.
