[JakeHP1]

Hi i want to upgrade my graphics card for my laptop to GTX 970m i currently have a Radeon Graphics Card and Intel HD Graphics can i upgrade my graphics?

I have a HP Pavilion 15 touchscreen the processor is Intel Core i5 4200u and Windows 8

My graphics card is AMD Radeon 8670M 1gb DDR3 and i want to upgrade it So can i upgrade my graphics card?

No sorry. There is just no physical way to add any other graphics to a laptop. Everything has to be soldered flat to the motherboard and there is no upgrade video slot. Your video "card" is just one of the chips soldered to the motherboard. 

There are a very, very few, very, very expensive laptops used by hardcore gamers and 3D design engineers that have a kind of a video card slot but even those are not universally upgradeable and the "cards" are not sold at a store; they are a very limited market. Not sure why I even said that except for 100% accuracy. Your laptop is not one of those kind of machines.

Cant i just replace it with the radeon graphics?

Replace what? It is a solid soldered together unit. There is nothing to take off and replace with something else is what I am trying to say. How are you picturing this replacement is going to happen? A standard desktop video card is not going to fit in a laptop so what kind of thing are you thinking you can stick in there?

Check out the new HP Omen. It has 860M graphics with DDR5 memory for about $1500.
