is it possible to install a graphics card for my laptop.

I just bought a laptop HP G42 and only have the intel HD Graphics. is it possible for me to install an Ati Radeon graphics card and how much it would cost if possible. Help, please. TQ.

Hello

It is not possible for all practical purposes.  Card Intel HD Graphics is a chip that is soldered on the motherboard, it is not designed to be changed.  The procedure is possible, but not only, would you need a good degree of expertise in welding, you would also have to rewrite the bios to accept the new material.

Kind regards

  • Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games

    Hello

    I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.

    I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?

    I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
    But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
    Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.

    Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
    PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.

    It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

  • graphics card for a laptop dv9000

    I have a card nvidia gforce 8600 m GS.  I am trying to run Dead Space.  I get a message that my graphics card does not meet the minimum requriements.  I looked up the requirements and I answered that the game asks for, but maybe not for the shading.  Can I get a new graphics chip for my laptop which runs the newer games?

    Unfortunately the laptops in almost all cases have not scalable graphics hardware.  Only a few of very-high end laptops have such a device.  There is also no external device that can help you.  Laptops are generally poor gaming machines because graphics cards tend to use a LOT of power.  And laptops are designed to run on batteries.  The graphics chips inside them are usually light versions of the desktop variety.  They lack features or have reduced power.  If you want to game, it is usually best to use a desktop PC.  If this is not always an option.

    However...

    You can download graphics drivers updated here: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/

    These last have modified drivers that allow the installer to allow you to install and play the game.  Install these at your own risk, as they are amended, results will vary.  You can read their documentation and ask questions in the forums to get help.  I know that people with your card 8600 m have got the game to install and play with these drivers.  In addition, I can't help you because I do not have the map and cannot tell you what drivers to get and install.

    Good luck!

  • Can I get a better graphics card for my laptop?

    Hi, my name is Mitchell and everything a few years ago, I had a laptop computer Hp Pavilion G6.  I use my laptop computer mainly for homework, but now ive started playing games on it and ive noticed that I can play games because the graphics card is not the best.  Instead of making a new pc game, I wanted to just update the graphics card on this subject?  I'm able to buy a graphics card for this and it installed?

    Hello

    What is your G6? G6 is a series of many portable models and normally we cannot upgrade the video card on 99.5% of them. Not only G6, other series laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and machines of class work station.

    No, no, colocation allows you to add a video card. It uses Intel HD Graphics 520 with up to 4172 MB total graphics memory that came with the CPU:

    He can't pass a laptop video card without killing your warranty.

    Most laptops even impossible to pass a video card.  Even if you can most of the companies have a locked bios if the laptop does not accept the new gpu.

    If you really want to make this lucky in brinking unit is 60% or more

    > If I need to change the whole motherboard, I'm not sure to do, too much, it will find a new, even renovated...

    Even if you would be willing to replace the whole motherboard, you must take the card mother, output for the series of notebook (P100 and A215)
    And in most cases, there is only one type of motherboard that is equipped with a GPU identical or similar
    So definitely need you a new motherboard if your GPU is defective
    In this case the replacement would be a costly affair because new mobo participates more expensive laptop.

    In my opinion it is not worth it to do...

  • Is it possible to update the graphics card on a Tecra A8 (PTA38E)?

    The integrated Intel GMA 945 chipset on the Tecra A8 is not quite deal with the applications I put money. (3D games...)

    I know that laptops are severely restricted on space internally and that the purpose of the integrated chipset is to save energy, but is possible to install a graphics card only stand instead of using the integrated graphics card?

    If so, can you recommend a suitable graphics card and any company with the necessary expertise to install the card... (I guess this would be a bit beyond my abilities)

    I agree with the user above. Cannot remove the GPU like on the desktop PC.
    The chip is welded and mounted on the motherboard.

    There is an answer simply; No, it of not possible to update the graphics card on this laptop, the chip is fixed on the map and can not be removed on the simply medium.
