Is it possible to upgrade my laptop's video card?

my laptop's video card level is not at the right level for me to play games such as resident evil 4.is there a possibility that i can upgrade my laptop's video card?|||Some new high performance laptop manufacturers are coming out with models that enable users to upgrade the video card or video accelerator it came shipped with. Unless you're one of the lucky few who have one of these types of laptops you will not be able to upgrade your video card.



If you are unsure if your laptop or portable computer is this type of computer it is recommended you contact the laptop manufacturer for additional information.|||no|||On some laptops.(the higher end ones) It is possible but for the others then no you won't be able to.|||for higher end gaming laptops

or high end laptops



some are built with mobility videocards specialy designd for the laptop

those can be upgraded

but if the ones with video graphic chipsets

i dont think those can be upgraded cause thier built in to the motherboard|||Most old laptops had onboard video cards, which meant that the motherboard had to be changed to upgrade one. Nowadays, the GPUs are standalone, mostly. They can be changed for a new one.



To find out what it is, see what model you have and post it as Additional Details. Intel Extreme Graphics video cards are onboard ones. If you have a nVidia GeForce or ATi Radeon, you can change.



Also, even if you have an onboard, maybe you can find a PCI slot in the motherboard and install the new card and then even somehow use both.|||Yes for models after 2007. No for before. But only if your laptop had a discrete card to begin with.
