    Actually the subvendor changes when the platform changes, I know it's weird but if you put a Clevo card into Dell it changes to Dell too.

    It says 2GB because thats the one Dell uses, Clevo just has the 4GB versions. This looks to be a Dell card in a Clevo computer. Unless its much cheaper there really isnt an advantage to it though since it is less vRAM. More of a FYI post I believe.
