My sister has a HP elitebook 8560w with a Nvidia 1000m. It is removable and was thinking of maybe upgrading the gpu because it does have a decent cpu in it. Where can you purchase one and would it be worth it? The CPU is a i7-2760qm and 8gb ram with two empty slots. I know there is a mobile 1050 ti and that is what I think would be perfect for this computer if possible

"if possible"
very unlikely

Each laptop is designed with different cooling ability and if the manufacturer doesn't specify it's designed to work with a certain card then it just won't work. Typically due to lack of cooling and power for the video card. Think of laptops like they have upgradable CPU's, RAM and hard drives but your typically stuck with the GPU it came with. SOMETIMES... there may be more than 1 option.

I took a look at your laptop's service and repair manual. Good news. Your laptop is certified to use 3 different video cards.

1. nVidia Quadro 1000M
Looks like you already have this one...

2. nVidia Quadro 2000M

Laptops are not standardized like a desktop is.

In physical compatibility alone you cant just change cards to your heart's desire.
Most of the GPUs are soldered directly in, and those that are socketed have different socket designs every year or generation.
Not to mention the cooling ability, and the bios needing to be compatible with that GPU.

Your "options" are the 3 that dark_lord posted up.
Now to forewarn you, these are workstation graphics cards designed for 3d modeling and engineering, not gaming. For gaming these will at best perform at the level of a 50 or 60 series of NVIDIA of that era, certainly not a 70 or 80.
