    So I've bought a Clevo w880CU for $390AUD, the GPU it contains is a faulty 480m, which I'm replacing with this 460m, which is supposedly compatible with this model:
    Nvidia Geforce GTX 460M MXM 3 0B VGA Card 1 5GB DDR5 GTX 260M 460M Upgrade | eBay

    Are there any GPUs that are equal or better, with approximately the same, or cheaper pricing? This is for a friend, he's paying. I'd like for him to get the best value for his money, the 460m seems like a decent card, and this looks like a reasonable price, considering free shipping (shipping from US can be anywhere from $30-60AUD for these things).

    If you do have a recommendation, or you are willing to sell me a GPU, please be aware I do not wish to do any heat-sink modifications, or anything else particularly challenging to get it to work.
