    Hey!

    I was wondering if I could grab a 680M (not sure how) and just swap out the cards? I know there might be limitations of both battery and power supply (the cord).

    I just wanted an official answer, because I'm mostly guessing! :)

    No I don't think so from what I've seen the GPU is soldered on.
