msi GT70 2pc is it worth upgrading gpu

[justXgammer]

Hi guys

This is my first thread so please be nice with me if I make any mistakes 😀
or my language was not that good

I bought a msi GT70 2pc dominator 895 last year it has gtx870m mxm gpu I'm considering to upgrade it to gtx970m mxm
I did a lot of research and found that there is improvement in
1. about 30% in frames and performance
2. about 20% less in wattage ( less by 22 watt )

but with this improvements there is some constraint
1. heatsink for 8xx series not matching 9xx series ( but I may do modification for that )
2. upgrading worth 500$

so is it worthing spending this amount of money for the upgrade

my laptop spec

cpu : 4800mq
gpu : gtx870m

I would not spend $500 for an upgrade for a laptop over 1 generation just for the video card. Wait another generation then either get the 970m cheaper or replace the full system.

Thanks for your responed

I'm agree it is too much to spend 500$ for the last generation
but if I sell mine now let's assume the amount of money I get 900$ it is not enough to buy the new generation with 970m I need at least 1500$ for normal spec.
1500 - 900 = 600

on the other hand it still an option
