Looking to upgrade laptop gpu, need some help.

Hello I have a MSI gt70 dominator 892 laptop and currently it has an nvidia gtx 870m and with the next gen games coming out with heavier graphic demands I'm looking to upgrade to the nvidia gtx 970m.

I'm not sure how to go about doing this. I've tried looking for the 970m itself but only find laptops with it so it leads me to believe I have to call MSI and send it in if it's even possible in the first place.

Here's my laptop's specs

• Windows 8.1
• Intel® Core™ i7-4800MQ Processor
• 17.3" Full HD Anti-Reflective Display (1920x1080; 16:9)
• NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 870M 6G GDDR5
• Matrix Multi-Monitor Display Support
• Efficient Single Fan Thermal Cooling with Cooler Boost 2
• Full Color Programmable Backlit Keyboard by SteelSeries
• Super RAID (128GB SSD x 2; RAID 0) + 1TB HDD (7200RPM)
• 24GB DDR3L 1600MHz System Memory
• Killer™ DoubleShot Technology (Killer™ E2200 + Killer™ Wireless-N 1202)
• USB 3.0 x 3, USB 2.0 x 2
• VGA, HDMI, mDP
• Blu-ray Disc Burner
• Built-in 720p HD Webcam
• World-Class Dynaudio Premium Speakers
• Audio Boost Technology

Thanks for the help.

Try these links. A bit pricey, but will do the trick.

u can upgrade only if your motherboard supports for it so.check it through your user manual.
other options also might work, but may yield some performance issues/lags.
