    Upgrading a laptop's GPU

    Hey guys, as the subject states I want to find out if its possible to upgrade a laptop's GPU?
    Ive got a HP Pavilion DV76076ei with a radeon HD6770m inside, so is it possible to upgrade to say a HD6990M ?

    I am pretty sure that would be close to impossible.
    a 6770m uses much less power than the 6990m, and on top of that where the heck are you gonna find a 6990m for a good price?
