You're not going to be adding a new video card to a Tegra 3 SOC.

You could replace the SOC too for another arm.

System-on-a-chip, so no, you can't. It's not a standardized thing were you just drop in another socket and mb-compatible x86 CPU.

It's not very clear what part of the system will be open source but if the whole OS and their layer on top are, you could re-install it on anything and replace any part of the hardware.

That assumes standardization of the ARM platform that mostly doesn't exist.
