hi! I am using an ASUS ROG GL752VW-DH71 laptop, and I was wondering if I could upgrade its video card from a GTX 970M to another GTX series video card (maybe a GTX 980M SLI, or 780M SLI?) is it like possible or do I need to a buy a destop or better laptop, I have an
I7 3.5 GHZ turbo
NVIDIA GTX 970M
1TB HDD
16GB RAM (upgradeable to 32GB)
17.3'' screen

The model number you gave has a 960m and the gpu is soldered to the mobo. They do not have other versions of the gl752 with different gpus.

oh sorry about that but is there anyway to increase the graphic capability of my laptop or am i going to be forced to buy a new computer? i paid 1400 for this laptop..... btw is there something like the alienware graphic amp that i can use to increase my graphic power or am i stuck permenently?

I saw your other thread and people have been able to play the division with a 960m on low-medium.

You might be able to do an egpu. Be warned that this is usually not done because you could just sell your laptop, use that money for a desktop and get better performance. Looks like you don't have easy access to your mpcie so you'd have to have the whole bottom panel off to do it. Because of that, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you want, it's the same as other egpus like the alienware graphic amp but you can save $200. It's nothing more than a psu, adapter, a desktop gpu, case is optional. You will not get full performance out of the gpu.

Thank you for the reply. I've heard about external gpu's, RAM, and V cards, is this true?
