Hi,
On page 78 of service manual you can see all the compatible motherboards for your model (series). As you can see the Nvidia GT 740M is the most powerfull GPU in this series of notebooks.

So it is not possible to upgrade even if you replace the motherboard.
Hope it helps,
David

Hi,
The GPU is not upgradeable as it comes integrated on the motherboard (soldered) together with the graphics subsytem.
Hope it helps,

Hi,
Unfortunately, the Nvidia chip is integrated on to the system board and is not an upgradeable component - this is nearly always the case with consumer class notebooks.
