I have GTX 260M, according to Nvidias autocheck , it is not capable of running Directx11. I have been asking all over if anyone knows of a graphic card for laptops with the same footprint. I have an ASUS G71GX MB G71G model number.

It's an MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module) You need to find out which version(I think it's a ver 2 but not sure) and find an upgrade to match.

You have to completely disassemble the laptop to get to it because of the way your laptop was made.
Here is a video that show show(and why). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpfoKmVSNCQ

Thank you very much for your answer and link. I have found several of them on youtube that demonstrate how to replace the video card. What I am having difficulty with is "find an upgrade to match." I cant find any reference or white papers that cant help me. I also am not sure I know all of the key elements. I know connectivity and wattage but thats about it. Thanks

the odds are that you cant upgrade. unless the modules havent changed, power consumption hasnt changed, and the firmware is the same, it wont work
