I would contact Eurocom/Upgradeyourlaptop (Ebay), But you are looking at around $720 - $760 to upgrade it yourself.
edit: I can't words....

No offense to the OCC community but I'm a member at Notebookreview for a reason. Check with niffcreature over there and see if he either has a 7970m or can tell you where to get the cheapest one. He's kinda the mobile GPU guru on NBR.
4 out of 6 weeks of my OTR training down then I get my own, brand new 2013 Freightliner Cascadia 
Intel 3770k (Supplied by Intel), MSI Z77A GD65 (Supplied by ccokeman), NVIDIA GTX 690 (Supplied by NVIDIA), Mushkin Chronos 120GB HDD (Supplied by Mushkin), Dominator Platinum 16GB (Supplied by Corsair), Corsair 600T Case (Supplied by Corsair), Corsair AX860 PSU (Supplied by Corsair), H100i (Supplied by Corsair), Asus DVDRW (Supplied by Bosco)
I am extremely grateful to Bosco, Ccokman, Nvidia, Corsair, Intel and Mushkin as winning the hardware is making my life far easier as it has helped tremendously with the transition from P/T Little Caesars employee to becoming an OTR truck driver. Again, than you all and I will be showing my gratitude this coming Xmas

I haven't checked in a couple months but if AMD still hasn't fixed their Enduro problems DO NOT get a 7970m for a p170em. Get the gtx680. I dropped my 7970m faster than a bag of sh**.
