    Hi I'm going to buy an Asus G73SW XT1. I was wondering if the video card could be upgraded some time down the road. I would send it to a shop to do, but is it Possible? Thanks

    not really unless someone tries another mxm 3 card in there, to see if it works , like they tried with the hd6970m.

    but it could be possible when asus release a g75 (probably have gtx 660m). that it will fit into the g73 as asus use there own mxm cards for there laptops.

    but the new card could be a mxm 4 card, then it wont work.
