From the Maintenance & Service guide for your notebook

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02749041.pdf  (see ch 3, pg 23, item 7)

 

Here are the compatible  Graphics board (includes replacement thermal material):

ATi XT-GL graphics board with 1-GB GDDR4 memory       596061-001

nVidia GLM5 graphics board with 2-GB GDDR5 memory  596064-001

nVidia GLM3 graphics board with 1-GB GDDR3 memory  596063-001

nVidia GLM3 graphics board with 1-GB GDDR3 memory  596062-001

 

The nVidia GLM5 graphics board with 2-GB GDDR5 memory   HP P/N 596064-001

appears to be the best compatible GPU unit available.
