Can we add external graphic card on macbook pro

can we add graphic card to my macbook pro late 2011
i7 processor

Not yet, no. MSI is showing an early demonstration of a Thunderbolt peripheral that will host an external graphics card, so there may be a solution eventually though it currently is Windows-only. See:

  • Can we upgrade the graphic card on macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012

    I just bought my macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012. I am wondering can i upgrade the graphic card to NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete processor with up to 1GB of video memory?

    Nope - you're stuck with the Intel 4000. If you wanted a higher-performance GPU, you should have bought a 15".
    Sorry,

  • External Graphics Card for Macbook Pro 2011?

    Tired of just having no graphics card which really irritates when i play high graphics games....just really need to know if there is an option of using an external graphics card

    There is no external graphics solution that will be anything but much, much slower than what you have.
    If your MacBook is not meeting your needs, sell it and buy one that better meets your needs. Most of the 15" units today have a discrete graphics processor that tag-teams with the Integrated graphics for superior performance under stress, acceptable battery life when not taxed.

  • Can i change a graphics card in macbook pro retina 15?

    Dropped a coke on macbook pro retina 15 and need to change a graphics card can i do it???

    The gfx hardware is integral with and soldered to the logic board, so "no" to your question.
    If you have a black screen after a spill of a carbonated (= mildly acidic) drink, you've probably zapped more than graphics hardware.
    Many such spills are not recoverable. The repair price can approach the cost of a new computer. If you have honmeowners'/renters' insurance, put them on notice of the accident ASAP. Many people have found that their home policy covers accidental damage to electronics including computers, subject to a deductible. Often it's the only financial help you'll get in recovering from a liquid disater.

  • External graphics card on macbook pro

    Hello, I have spent alot of time trying to see if the macbook pro's gpu is upgradable and it is not, however I have heard of people adding an external gpu via thunderbolt to a macbook pro, I would like to know if this is possible and if it is how it will perform and if their are any companies that have a device that will do this.

    External GPU's are possible - just very DIY, hacky (custom drivers and kext development mode in Yosemite), and not supported at all.  That being said, it won't stop me.

    I'm sorry, but you can only replace the hard drive and the RAM. The rest of the hardware is soldered onto the logic board, so it's not possible to replace it

  • HT3249 Can the graphics card of MacBook pro be customized?

    Can the graphics card of MacBook pro be customized?

    Only at the point of ordering from the Apple store. Select the required Video card at that point, because it can't be changed later.

  • How will i increase the shared memory of the graphic card of macbook pro 13-inch, early 2011 from 4gb memory?

    how will i increase the shared memory of the graphic card of macbook pro 13-inch, early 2011 from 4gb memory?

    The current version of Mavericks is 10.9.4. To update yours download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
    You can upgrade RAM to the maximum your model will support. That would be:
    Maximum Memory
    16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    OS X Mavericks- About Activity Monitor
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Is it possible to add external graphics cards via thunderbolt on a 2011 MBPro?

    I have a 2011 Macbook Pro, quad core, RAM maxed at 16gb, 250 SSD, and SSHD to replace optical drive, but wanted to know if there was a way to add an external graphics card via Thunderbolt for more screens and faster work in VIDEO editing on-the-go?!?!
    Is this possible? can anyone give me any advice that would help me.
    I DO have a 2006 Mac Pro that I've also maxed out and it's STILL a BEAST and i love using it... but wanted to see how i could increase my macbook pro too, seeing it can run mavericks and ALL my adobe CC apps too.
    Thanks so much for ANY suggestions!!

  • How do I add external monitors to my MacBook Pro?

    What is the best way to use two external monitors with my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2010) with minimal latency?

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

  • Can i add a ssd to my macbook pro retina?

    Hi,
    I would like to add a ssd drive to my macbook pro retina 13", but i dont know if it will work / if the size is good.
    The one i wanted to buy : http://www.cdiscountpro.com/informatique/ssd/samsung-produits-samsung-disque-dur -ssd-mz7pd512bweu-p1209666.htm
    Thanks for your answer

    If you want to add an SSD it must be an external SSD. There is no space in the retina macbook Pro to put an additional SSD. The retina already has a flash drive.
    The best you can do internally is upgrade the internal flash storage http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDAP12R480/

  • Issues with graphic card on Macbook Pro 2011

    I just having problem with starting my Macboook. First, at start screen (gray background with the apple logo) appears pink/red horizontal lines over all the screen. Then, when i'm using my computer, screen goes black for no reason and i need to force restart to turn on the Mac.
    I can see that many people is having the same problem. ¿Someone knows what's going on? I can't believe this is happening to a "HIGH QUALITY" expensive computer. This seems happening to 2011 Macbook Pros...
    Joaquín.

    I had a similar problem on my iMac some years ago, and it was due to a graphic card failure, so I think it is the same problem for you. As it is a hardware problem, the only option is to take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get it fixed: you will get it fixed for free if your Mac is in warranty or if there is a replacement program.
