My laptop has nVidia GeForce GTX 560m 2GB VRAM, I'm not sure of the other specs. I'll go check but I want to know the exact specs of this card you guys offer. A friend may want to get it and I need to know if I should try to help him.

My card:
nVidia GeForce GTX
560m (mobile)
2GB GDDR5 VRAM (Dedicated video memory, for those who don't know what this is)
I'm gonna edit the post once I find out the other specs of my card.

CCP's nVidia Card offer:
nVidia GeForce GTX
560* (obviously not mobile but what set of letters after?)
How much VRAM?
Other specs?
I will add the specs to the topic top message once I get them, for anyone else who wishes to know.

It's about half as powerful as you're paying for, since they're charging an awful markup on that deal… Blink

only if you do the conversion as follows:

RL monies -> plex -> card

how's the non-eula-violating conversion rate compare with respect to other end items when you do it this way:

Isk -> plex -> card?

Using Google is hard, guys.

Not sure where OP got 2 GB VRAM for a 560M, since that model is only available with a max 1.5 GB memory from what I see. Oh well.

Edit: Fix your goddamn forum, CCP. Percent signs are something that happen in text and in URLs.

There are no letters after. It is a stock GTX 560. My 3 year old, $200 Radeon HD 5850 is better, and also does DC11 with Tessellation.

If you want a general idea of comparing cards go here:

Also note mobile cards have significantly less power than the desktop versions

Since people seem to have a hard time believing my heavy portable has 2GB VRAM:

Also, it goes up to 3GB VRAM, not 1.5 like you said Petrus. Check the Asus specs page.

Don't think of it as a $400 card.

Think of it as a free card you got for spending virtual money. That's the point of view you are supposed to be going in with this.

Yeah, my £160 ($200ish) 560ti card is more powerful. What a waste of perfectly good plex.

So if I put sticker on my computer, a sticker on which "It is thinking", it must be true?

Well it's an nVidia, so it's not a ATI, so it will probably be good.

And uhm, it's a 200 euro/dollar card ( even though 200 dollars is about...... 35 euro's or something ).

If this sticker was a lie I would not only sue best buy for telling me to my face it had 2GB VRAM but sue asus for lieing on their website that it has 2 to 3 GB VRAM. I didn't spend $1800 on a heavy ass machine that doesn't have what I was told by 2 companies said it has.
