is your 670m soldered or socketed? if it's socketed then yes, you /probably/ can.

Check these before buying a new GPU
1. Socketed
2. Same Socket Interface, G2, G3, etc.
3. Space and dimensions of the new GPU
4. Support by Motherboard
5. Newer GPUs usually run cooler, but this is something you should check too

Then you'll be buying your new GPU, I don't know of any websites that are reliable and have good reputation that sell mobile GPUs, somebody else may come up with one though, I'd love to know about some sites too if I am being honest

It'd be awesome if Mobile GPUs and CPUs were sold like desktop GPUs and CPUs, desktop components are sold pretty much anywhere :c. Do you guys think such a day will come?
