Question HP Zbook 17" G3 - Gpu Upgrade - from M5000M to P5200. Can it handle?

Hi everyone,
I have a HP Zbook 17" G3 with a Nvidia Quadro M5000M. Our office discarding old laptops and I end up with a NVIDIA Quadro P5200. They are both MXM-B 3.0 bus interface Gpus. However M5000M is 100 W whereas P5200 is 150W. Do you think this upgrade would work?

thanks in advance.

Thanks but I read the info in the link. I didn't see a response regarding whether or not my G3 can handle the upgrade
