Is it possible to put a bigger video card in a studio 15 notebook?

Dell says it is impossible. A technician came out to fix a problem and I asked him and he said if i put a bigger motherboard in it would be possible. The mother board has to be big enough to support whatever card i choose to put in. I know its possible but is the inside of the laptop big enough to hold what i want to put in. Im undecided on what model of video card I want.|||laptop video cards are soldered directly to the mother board so you cant actually just switch the video card. you would have to find a motherboard and video card combined that you like.|||It's unlikely.. Integrated GPU's are on the motherboard and it uses your RAM to help it render graphics. Dedicated cards are separate from the motherboard and have their own memory built into them. If you're lucky enough to fund a motherboard that will fit, your frame won't have the necessary openings to allow the GPU's ports to be exposed. You're better off buying a laptop that came with a dedicated GPU.
