    Would it be possible to upgrade the Mobile Graphics Card in the Asus G50v models from the 9700m GT to the 9800M GT/GTS?

    No, and don't ask why. Just search the Gaming subforum.

    actually the G50 from ASUS uses MXM based graphics cards to my recollection.
    Their is a possibility that you can upgrade the graphics card, but someone would have to verify if it has mxm or not.

    Heat issues are probably why they didnt put a 9800 there in the first place.

    You would most likely screw your laptop up.
