Is it possible to update a graphics card?

Hello world!

I was wondering, if it is possible to update my graphics card? I am currently using a graphics card Intel Iris 6100 1536 MB and 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor. It is a beginning 2015 MacBook Pro with a Retina display.

Units of the retina have card soldered to the logic board.  No upgrade is possible.

  • 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.

  • Equium A60: Is it possible to update the graphics card?

    Because the graphics card in the A60 Equium is not very good and I was wondering if I could get a different graphics card and plug it into the back and used instead.

    If someone could tell me if I can I would be very grateful

    Hello

    No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
    As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.

    For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.

    I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
    The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment.

  • Is it possible to update the graphics card in the Satellite A200-195

    Is it posible to upgrade this card for me to play the game of MSTS?

    Usually it of not possible to update the graphics cards installed in notebooks!
    Laptop technology is simply different!
    The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it in a simple way.

    I have always recommended to use the computer to play the game!
    If you need the computer for hardcore games you should buy a desktop computer.
    Why? Because the latest games need for most fastest graphics card and the desktop PC can be upgraded much easily as a laptop.

    But finally it of your choice what you use ;)

  • 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.

  • Equium A100-027: is it possible to update the graphics card?

    I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I am very happy with it, but the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I'm a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle more modern games.

    I am looking how to change, how much it cost etc. However I don't want to buy a graphics card just to realize that inside is locked. Since it's only a week I want to take a hammer to it right away ;-)

    Can someone tell me how it is difficult to upgrade the graphics card? It is locked, or easily accessible?

    Hello Eamonn

    Unfortunately, upgrading the graphics card is not possible. I'm don't know if you're familiar with cell phone technology, but you should know that graphics cards installed on laptop motherboards are not same as the GPU for desktop PC s s.

    The map is fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!
    You can upgrade the memory or HARD drive on laptop computers but not the graphics card!

    I also have a player m and I m a laptop owner but I don t use this device for games, but for a typical use like the internet, programming, members, etc.
    I have a second game machine and it s a desktop PC. It s supports a map of water cooling module and a really great graphics, but I'll change it to the a newer NVIDIA supports the directX10.
    It is a future and all new games will this DrectX10!

  • Is it possible to update the graphics card

    HP model: G42 - 488TU

    P/n: LR781PA #ACJ

    S/N: [removed for privacy]

    Notebooks don't usually have a graphics card. They have a built-in video chip (welded in) in the chipset of the system board. Some laptops have mini PCIe modules of discrete graphics.  Your particular laptop integrates the graphic chip Intel HD so the upgrade, it is not an option without changing the Group on the entire system. It would cost around half the value of the laptop.
