I would like to upgrade the GPU inside my MacBook Pro in order to play games. I have a 3,1 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU and 16 GB RAM.
The new GPU must be compatible with Boot Camp.
Is it possible?
What are the possibile options?
How much does it cost to have it replaced?
If not possible, can you suggest me any suitable external GPU?

GPU are replaced by replacing the logic board— Apple policy is to reinstall the original equipment the Mac shipped with, no upgrade there.
The solutions would be to upgrade— or eGPU compatible
Mac models, which have Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports:

If your Mac is Thunderbolt 3-equipped you can use a eGPU.
Use an external graphics processor with your Mac https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208544
Use Blackmagic eGPU with your Mac https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208897
eGPUs rely on the VRAM installed on the card, not the system RAM. It's your software that relies on system RAM.
Not possible. GPU soldered into the board
Not even by sending it back to Apple to have it replaced?
