Can I replace my laptops graphics card (aka GPU)?

In general, no. Laptops with dedicated video cards may have the GPU soldered directly to the motherboard itself. To upgrade the video card would mean replacing the motherboard which may be cost prohibitive. Some laptops’ motherboards do have separate GPUs that are replaceable, but the GPUs aren’t typically sold through major retail channels. We recommend consulting an expert or reading about your specific laptop model before making any decisions about what to do.
