I would like to know if I can go to Computer Tech and install a new graphics card there. Like a PC.
This is not as easy as you imagine. Yes, this is possible with a few laptops. I have a gaming notebook myself. Since I can expand the graphics card and the CPU. They are not soldered but have a socket. That is rather rare. Finding matching stock cards is the next difficulty. I can theoretically upgrade from the GTX 870m to the GTX 980m. In addition, there are no graphics cards with the right board to find more. In addition, the components are also expensive.
That depends on the technical equipment of the notebook and the installed graphics card.
A change of cards is only possible with high-end notebooks whose Nvidia Geforce or AMD Radeon graphics solutions were installed as a modular plug-in board in MXM card format.
However, the smallest graphics solutions from AMD or Nvidia are mainly soldered directly to the motherboard and are therefore not interchangeable.
The third variant is available in the form of integrated graphics solutions directly in the processor. In this embodiment, then the APU (CPU with iGPU) would have to be replaced.
As a standard one can say in today's notebooks:
NO!
There are only a few exceptions there.
First of all thank you for your help! I have an Acer F5-573G-57B7 is it there?
Unfortunately, the Nvidia GPU is permanently soldered to the motherboard in this model.
