Hello,
A couple days ago the gtx 675m in my MSI GT70 blew up, smoke and everything. I am trying to replace it with the same card or something better. My question is; Can i replace my current card with a newer 870m? As i live in Canada replacing the older 675m with a new 675m would cost me a whole hell of a lot more as i would have to get it out of the states. Currently my laptop is not booting so if i replace it with a newer card can i then get the correct drivers and such?
Thanks,
Hill
