No. Not only will the heatsink not line up, asus uses a weird shaped slot so the card? won’t fit.

so…will ANY better NVIDIA card be able to fit for our laptop? if? not, then the point of having a dedicated card is useless…

That’s actually quite typical. Even if Asus had built in a slot that could be upgraded like desktops, the thermal profile of faster GPUs is just too? high compared to the GTS 360m. That’s a 35 watt card. I’m pretty sure the GTX 460m is at least 65 watts. That’s a much hotter card. The GTS 360m in mine is already running around 82 degrees C. I wouldn’t want to see how hot a 460 would get.

How much did this cost you, and do you think it will be able to play MW3 well? when it comes out?

it barely runs blops so i doubt it would run mw3, this laptop was made? in late 2009, so its a little outdated, if you want a computer that runs mw3, get a newer one or a custom built desktop
