    Hello, I have an Asus VX7sx. My laptop actually has a Nvidia GTX 560m. Is possible to upgrade my GPU with a GTX 960m or with a 1070m?
    Thanks

    Nope! Either the GPU is soldered or even if it would be MXM, it surely has a customized PCB-Layout.

    No, your laptop is soldered... Get rid off it and buy a new one..

    The 560M is a very old, weak and soldered GPU.
