Hey there,

I have purchased a Force 1761 (MS-1761) laptop from xoticpc.com in 2011, but now the video card need replacement.

Specs:
i7-2630QM, GTX 570M, 8GB RAM

The person in the repair shop said they can't replace the GPU however I started reading and while I found some people having problems with upgrading (especially with 770,780M cards) I have also read good things about 870M.
Additionally:
"Yes, the GTX900M Series runs without any problems in the MS-1761 Barebone. This Series works in all MSI Barebones." (source: http://forum.techinferno.com/msi/10710-gt780dx-upgrade-gtx-9xxm.html)

Can you confirm that this is the case? If yes, would 870 and 970 both work?
Or is there other or better options?

Thanks a lot for any help

Balint




 


Sorry mate for doubting you, but can you elaborate on that?
It seemed on other pages that it is a viable idea.
 
By the way if anyone would be wondering, yes it is possible to upgrade the laptop's GPU. Many people have done it many times.
Here is an article explaining the whole thing for my case: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/the-official-msi-gt60-70-970m-980m-upgrade-thread.765058/
