    There is not a native cable for it, it would need to be modded.

    P370EM supports GTX 680M - GTX 1070. So 780M works fine.

    It supports only Intel 3rd generation cpus.

    7th & 8th gen won't work due to a hardware conflict.
    9th gen works, 10th gen only if you have an eDP screen model not with LVDS.
    The CPU works (this model supports Sandy & Ivy Bridge).

    No. The P370EM/SM/SM-A had switchable graphics disabled, so no iGPU.

    Hello, probably a bit off topic or weird intro to the conversation but I have a p370em that originally had 2 7970m both of which are now dead. I used the baking method on both - one was successful for about another 6 months and the other one wasn't. The laptop was also running prema's modded bios. I want to revive the laptop with purchasing a single Gpu from the site that ends in "Bay. What would my options be? I am looking for the cheapest option and ability to get a working bios - not looking for a powerful upgrade. Just want to be able to use the laptop again. I appreciate any response. Thank you

    Getting a 8970m should be a reasonably priced slot in replacement.

    HD 8970M/M290X are the best price for the buck performer.
