    Could it be possible to upgrade the gpu of my laptop?

    I will have to do move for a while soon so I will have to turn away from the pc. I have an old-ish laptop. i5 2430M 2.4ghz, 4gb ram and the current gpu GT540M 2gb. I am interested in upgrading it to GTX670MX. I'm not an expert in IT as you can see, so I don't know if it's even possible.

    Anyone got any experience with this?

    Highly unlikely, you would have to make sure it is EXACTLY the same dimension, besides the 670 would be more power hungry which could be an issue.
    And I believe they are soldered into the mobo?

    Unless you know you have bought upgradeable laptop, it isn't.

    Need the model and make of the laptop, but most likely not. They're usually part of the motherboard and the cooling solution is built to handle a certain thermal delta.

    The key difference is that the white people in this thread aren't being told "shut up stop being offended get over it."
