Hi,
This are the reference cards that will work. The validated cards in the list are the Nvidia / AMD reference cards (unmodified). For example this is the reference version for the GTX1070, the specifications on this card are the validated ones. We are not saying that non-reference cards will not work, but we can not confirm the functionality, since we can't validate all cards. :
In regards to the video card maximum dimensions:
Length: 10.5''
Height: 4.376

1) The internal video cards on the laptops are soldered on and cannot be upgraded.
2) I have a GTX 1080 running in a graphics amplifier for my Alienware 17 R3 and it works great, so a 1070 should work just fine. However, some of the 10xx cards are too tall to fit in the case with the lid closed, so you need one that is no more than 5 inches tall.
