Looks like a rebrand with about 10% boost over 780M.

I think the better choice is buying a gtx680mX version and than overclock it

Though its going to be difficult to find the graphic card(look at he subvendor , but  less expensive

As you can see this bios version is not modded so there is more room for overclocking it and stable at a Higher Core Votage

Hi All,

I have finally got my MXM replaced. It seems that the 675M I had is having problem.

They have replace my card with a new 780M after my four complain. I'm glad that have upgrade to a better card but..............when I open the 780M it doesn't seems to be fit with the HP type B HSF.

Does anyone have the same experience? Any solution to that please?

What do you mean when you say "when I open the 780M it doesn't seems to be fit with the HP type B HSF."

MXM Type B cards are the same szie and shape and should all fit.

A photo of your card would help a lot.

Hi

I'm just over excited when received with my new 780m MXM. Didn't reliase the thermal paste metal case has blocked the graphic card holes to be fix to the hsp.

Removed the metal case problem resloved.......

Happily using my 780m now..........

Thanks for all the support.
