Can i upgrade the video card in this laptop?

I have a Hp Pavilion dv7-6163US laptop with an integrated intel graphics chip which isnt much of a gaming video card. It has 6 GB RAM and a great processor so it can handle games in that sense just wanna know if the graphics card is upgradeable and if so which cards are compatible and might prove to be a good replacement



Thanks|||I really whish i could tell you yes ... technically there is a way but it takes a lot of wireing and cost 100$ without the card and it isnt portable.



Integrated graphics means the card is attached straight to your motherboard, its cheaper, faster (sometimes), causes less heat, but you cant change them and they slow down your computers overall performance because it takes CPU power.



Dedicated graphics can be switched out most of the time but cost more,and produce more heat. But they make your computer use less CPU power.



Heres that adapter link:

Best wishes mate.|||Laptop computers are popular with people of all computing habits, from casual users to hardcore gamers. As more media applications such as games and movies are used by laptop owners, many people feel the need to have the video card in their laptop upgraded so that they can run the latest media and games. If you have a laptop and want to upgrade the video card, you may be able to do so.



1

Contact your laptop manufacturer to determine if laptop's video card can be upgraded. Unless you purchase a high-end or gaming laptop, the video card is usually not upgradable because it is integrated directly into the motherboard of the computer. Higher-end and gaming laptops have discrete video cards that can oftentimes be upgraded if the laptop manufacturer chose to produce an upgraded model of the video card. If the laptop is unable to have its video card upgraded, you'll have to buy a new laptop to get an upgraded video card.



2

Purchase an upgraded video card directly from the manufacturer. Laptop video cards are specially designed and made by the laptop manufacturers and are generally available only from the manufacturers themselves. You may be able to find them on auction sites or from third-party dealers, but to ensure that the card works properly with your laptop model, you should go through your computer manufacturer.



3

Find out if the card is user-serviceable or not. If it is, you will be sent the part and can install it yourself by taking apart the laptop computer, removing the old video card and putting the new one in. If not, then you may have to pay an additional fee to have the laptop manufacturer send a technician to install the video card for you.
