[phantom97]

Hello, I have MSI GT780DX notebook, because my graphic card(nvidia gtx570m) is broken I want buy other to replace, whcih all graphic I can to install in my laptop....

its not that simple on a laptop/notebook. In most cases the GPU is built onto the motherboard.
You can't just buy a new GPU, you would need to replace motherboard

You might be able to buy a replacement motherboard for your model, or just buy a new notebook. Should be able to get a slightly newer one for reasonable price, yours is from 2011.

A quick look at the motherboard for that laptop reveals a MXM slot. That means a compatible GPU can be installed.

This is not as simple as a desktop GPU upgrade. Whatever you install must be compatible with the system's BIOS and overall system requirements (especially heat and power).

A replacement MXM GPU may also be rather expensive. This might work:

I have that notebook, replacing the gpu is easy and with modding the heatsink you can even upgrade to the 970m, but considering the price of a mxm card I suggest you to buy a new notebook.

I found on eBay, Nvidia gtx570m, but it sold quickly for only $50, so I can to replace all to the 970 series?

Hello
If you want to install a better card, you need to look for information that confirm whether this card actually fits if you intend to install the gtx 970m
Then what bios should this card have, the best option, probably bios msi or the card worked in the msi lap
What bios your laptop must have so that there are no problems with starting or detecting the card
Will the heat sink fit or can it be modified for this card
Selection of thermo pads of their thickness

If you do not have experience and do not know how to solve problems with modifications, I advise you not to play such things, in the best case the card will not work
at worst you will break the card and you will lose money

Sell your laptop and buy a second

Sorry for my bad english ;p

@Etrius vanRandr you have any ideas with this? You have quite a bit of MXM experience/knowledge with other systems.

For the OP, I suggest looking here for more (possibly) information: https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/hp-mxm-upgrade-megathread.501837/

Motherboard has MXM.

MSI can be funky when it comes to MXM cards but you should be able to install any Fermi, Kepler, and Maxwell cards without issue. I don't know if your laptop has hybrid graphics or a display mux or whatever so it may not support pascal.

Best performance/dollar is currently the Quadro M4000M and depending on power delivery I have a heavily overclocked and power unlocked VBIOS for that card.

so I was wrong, people don't have to tell me, I read Colgeeks reply.

Be sure that the card is working, contact the vendor, and ask if it's an MSI-mxm module: otherwise you need a modified driver to install the gpu. $50 seems a low price to me, are you sure that is the right card? I only see price from 100 to 150 € on ebay.
However yes, you can upgrade to the 9xxM, an MSI version possibly, there are many guides online, but you need to modify the heatsink, but just a little because they're very similar. Look that these cards are not cheap and you're going to upgrade an old notebook. Spend money on it only if you can't afford a new pc or you don't play so much and you don't care about new games.

Yeah no, you don't always need a modified driver and the M4000M is $100 or less.

And if you read the post the guy said it already sold so obviously you're not going to see the listing for $50.

Editing my post was unnecessary. I was trying to be helpful, not confrontational.

I didn't edit your post.

lets just go back to the topic

This should work without issue under Windows 10, but you may need to get the driver from HP's website instead of NVIDIA's site.
