I have an older laptop (workstation / gamer) from Samsung from 2012. After intensive troubleshooting, the graphics card is defective. Despite the age, this is not cheap to buy. Are there any good / compatible alternatives? The laptop is currently running with a simple onboard graphics chip. The defective GraKa is deactivated.

What options do I now have for more performance through a graphics card? An external GraKa? The laptop does not have a Thunderbold input. But USB 3.0 …

Model: Samsung NP700G7A

i7-2630QM CPU@2.00GHz

16 GB RAM

AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series (defective and disabled)

Important: a laptop does not have a graphics card but a graphics chip!

In this version it's a card.

You probably can't avoid buying a new dedicated graphics card.
