Can you replace the graphics card inside of the computer? (from the GT765m -&gt; GT770m or GTX780m?)

Since MSI GS70 is very slim so there's a thermal limitation and only MSI know it can support GTX770M or GTX780M.

You can put the new one in but before you install the new one you have to uninstall all of the NVIDIA drivers then you can put the new one in and install the new drivers for the AND card.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M see: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834233025

Probably not. The graphics card is a built-in part of the motherboard and there are no PCI or any other kind of slots on the motherboard to add cards to the motherboard on this laptop. I am betting that no laptop will let you add any graphics cards to any of them either.

There is a graphics card slot but they are universal...what ever graphic card you put in there should work unless its antiquated.

If the question is "can you install another graphics card?" the answer is yes. If the question is "can you update the installed graphics card?" I don't know.

I actually have a GTX 770 sitting right here.... I haven't installed it because my Radeon HD8760 has been rock solid. Honestly dont' think i will install the GTX unless something goes horribly wrong with the Radeon.

Yes you can but you should upgrade your graphics card, I recommend a Geforce 750 gtx

I've had a PC with the same card as you. I going to assume your motherboard has the port big enough, and you have the power supply for it. Other than that it's as simple at removing the old and putting the new one in.

according to these: 1. http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19526167.aspx 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OySjCz1Sn_k it can be replaced as it's not soldered to the motherboard (assuming next GPU gen. will support the same slot MXM 3.0b)

No, it's a separate graphics card. It's not the worst, but not the best either. If you want to upgrade it, you'll need to upgrade the power supply also.

This one i bought has a gtx765, i am not sure about other ones. It depends on the one you buy. I believe the one i have is more than enough

It looks like yes you can upgrade that PC with this graphics unit. This card is two slots wide and very close to 10" long. So, you need to check that there is enough space inside the case.

I personally completely replaced my original Graphics Card with this one (did not keep old card in unit), BUT I watched a YouTube video where they just added the updated newer card to their system. The new card would replace the PCI slot of the original card,,, and then plug the original card into the secondary PCI slot.

No. It is built into the processor chip. You may still add a more powerful graphics card if you desire but for just normal use this one works perfectly.

Mr. Turner has the right of it. I haven't looked inside the case, but possible problems are not enough space for the new card, and not enough watts from the power supply. Then there is the hassle of upgrading the software drivers. It's not a good idea. It sounds like you want a customized unit. You can go through Dell or find a company that builds to order, or assemble it yourself. Be sure to check out any company that offers customized units. Often the cheapest is not a good idea.

Yes you can. There is, however, a process. Your going to have to call ASUS, which is a hassle until you get to a department that can actually help you, and have them e-mail you a free shipping slip along with the RMA forms. You will be without your computer for 1-2 weeks and may have your system wiped clean. I suggest you do two upgrades and make your life a hell of a lot easier. The video card seems to have a huge issue with the wires coming off of the fan connectors and the power supply unit barely cuts it. Grab yourself a 430-500 watt (high rated!) PSU and a video card in your budget (save for a GTX 660 or something) and you will be happy as hell with your system. This ~$200 upgrade will turn your rig into a true powerhouse, without breaking the bank too much.
