I happen to have a Zbook 15 G3 and yes the video card is removeable and theoretically upgradeable. The BIOS limits what you can install and your AMD video card has a heatsink assembly that is slightly different than an nVidia. What would you like to try to install?

The W7170M is larger and likely will not fit.

The video card is removeable and replaceable. Here is the Service Manual:

If you go from an AMD card to nVidia you need a different heatsink. M2000M is a bit more powerful than the AMD card you have now:
