Can I update the graphics/video card?

I just bought my son a new HP Envy 17 - j130us 17.3-inch Touchsmart computer laptop with Beats Audio at Amazon.com. Now, I like Intel, but the graphics card can be improved? He loves these intensive real games, and well, it earned him.

No there is no way to improve the graphics. This is true for almost all laptops. You are still in time to return and buy something with better graphics?

    I am able to update the graphics card in my iMac end 2012? I know that this is not a gaming computer, but I want to be able to play low end games. Is this possible?

    # You don't have a 'card' in this model. Starting with 2012 models graphics hardware was inseparable and soldered to the logic board. Looks like this:

    Hello

    It is not really possible to update the graphics your laptop card - although it is called a 'card' in reality she is physically welded to the motherboard in the same way as a chip.  Even if you could find someone with the necessary skills to replace it, you would also have to re - write the bios to allow the new hardware - BIOS of HP have a 'white list' authorized equipment and anything not on the list will prevent starting laptop.

  • Satellite L300D - 24 d how can I update the graphics driver?

    Hello

    How can I update the driver for my ATI Radeon 3100 graphics card. (Win Vista 32 bit)
    I download and installed the new ATI Catalyst worms. 10.12.

    If I change my graphics card options, there is always the old driver installed... Worms. 22.04.08 8.479.0.0
    Also, it is not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.

    Thanks for the help,

    Fun1975

    First, you must use the page to Toshiba display driver.
    The use of other drivers can lead to highest GPU temperature and cause overheating.

    But if you want to use other drivers, you can do so at you own risk.
    In order to install another driver, go to Device Manager, mark the graphics card, then press on uninstall button.
    Then the driver should be uninstalled.

    After you restart the laptop, you can try to install the new version.

    > It is also not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.
    The internal screen for laptop supports 1280 x 800 high resolution. It is not possible to choose a higher value.

  • Can I update the graphics card in my laptop?

    Hi people,


    I want to know if I can upgrade the graphics card to my laptop.

    Now, a day most of the high-end gaming is not

    working in my laptop and I'm very disappointed.

    Please let me know if I can do it. My laptop model

    HP  Pavilion DV5 1106AX.

    Hello:

    Unfortunately in most laptops today (including your own), the graphics may not be upgraded.

    I watched the service manual for your laptop, and there is no similarly to other motherboards with better graphics available.

    You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, but you can't do anything with the material.

    Unfortunately, the graphics card is not editable in most cases, it welded s and he a part of the motherboard.
    But even you would be able to remove the chip on board additional parts like BIOS, etc. would not address the new chip.

    Instead?

    I thank in advance

    Hello

    > I install Nvidia Geforce 6600 go installed instead?

    No, it is certainly not possible.

    Laptop technology is different from the desktop computer and parts are not expandable.
    The GPU (graphics chip) is set on the tray and the replacement or upgrade is not possible, unfortunately.

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

    If you're looking for a little bit in the forum, then you would find additional threads regarding this theme.
    And all threads provide the same answer; No it's not possible to upgrade the GPU.
    The GPU is a part of the motherboard and you can't delete it, because it s welded.
