Hello,

I was after some help. I currently have a Asus g50v-a1 and want to upgrade my GPU. The specification is as follows

Series : G50V-A1
CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53GHz/6MB L2/1066MHz FSB/ 35W TDP) (With over clock)
Graphic : Nvidia GeForce 9700M-GT w/ 512MB GDDR3
Memory : 4GB DDR2-800 RAM
Hard disk : 2x 250GB 5400RPM SATA hard drives
Screen : 15.4-inch WSXGA+ (1680x1050) glossy display

There is a new g51vx coming out soon.

Series : G51VX
CPU : Core 2 Duo processor
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M with GDDR3 1 GB VRAM
Memory 4 GB RAM
Hard disk : 2x 250GB 5400RPM SATA hard drives
Screen : 15.6? FHD/HD LED LCD

If I could get a gtx260m will I be able to fit it in my g50v-a1 the chassie looks the same all they have changed is the GPU?

If not can I upgrade it to a alternative GPU that will be better than the Nvidia GeForce 9700M-GT
