Question What is a possible graphics card upgrade I could add to my Lenovo e570 which has a GTX 950m?

GPU is soldered to the board, so no upgrading possible.

No Thunderbolt available for an eGPU solution.

If you truly want to upgrade, your options are pretty much:
1. Hack-job of running a GPU to the available PCIe slot (for your Wifi), sacraficing Wifi/BT, running riser cables & using an external PSU etc....
OR
2. Replacing the laptop.

In searching for any evidence that this laptop is an exception I looked up listings on ebay, where most had a blank spot for a chip left empty but this one had a chip there:

The chip with two blocks is the Intel CPU (soldered on) while to the upper right of that a chip has the inscription "N16P-GT-A2" which a google search reveals is an Nvidia GTX 950 (it's also soldered on). THis makes no upgrade possible
