Hi,
Upgrading graphics chips on laptops is very difficult and mostly impossible because the chips are soldered to the motherboard. You can upgrade the graphics chip by replacing the motherboard with a compatible one which has a more powerful graphics chip. In your case it is a mobo with an Nvidia GF GT650M with 2GB of DDR5 RAM. However, the motherboard costs approx $600. The part number you need is: 682040-001.
It looks like M7series laptops are compatible with Dv7-6000 series laptops. See a service manual:

If you do not have the Mac Pro I would find a 2008 or later but preferably, a 2009 or later one.

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,

Can one upgrade the graphic card for Imac (intel based)?

can one upgrade the graphic card in an Imac (intel based)?

While anything is theoretically possible, you would need to find another GPU that is compatible with your specific model iMac, and you would need to modify OS X to use a driver appropriate for whatever you propose to install. Future OS X updates would break it in short order. Not only that, you'd void whatever warranty that remains. It's not worth it.

Can you upgrade the graphics on a macbook?

I am wondering if you can upgrade the graphics card on a macbook. I've looked in the online apple store but all of the graphic cards are for mac pros or macs with G3-5 processors.
Do the current graphics on a macbook prevent you from playing games on windows when running bootcamp? I mostly play command and conquer, not a graphically demanding game. thanks.

NO, you can't upgrade the graphics card. If it's not that demanding then it would most likely be fine.

Tecra A6 - Can I upgrade the graphic card?

I have a Tecra A6 A60E (171) with 1Gb memory and the Intel Express 950 video chipset set at max memory useage 128Mb.
Is it possible to either upgrade the memory allocation to 256Mb max or install a graphics card?

Hi!
Sorry buddy but here in the forum are so much threads about upgrading the graphic card and CPU so I can prefer this Toshiba document:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
And yes, if you have more RAM you will get more video RAM. As far as I know up to 256MB video RAM are possible.

Can I upgrade the Graphics Card in my Aspire T180?

Hi, I have an old Aspire T180-UB7Z. I want to upgrade the graphics card. What would be the best option I could go for which would not need any upgrades to the PSU or motherboard? I want one I can just plug straight in. What sort of things do I need to look for to make sure the new graphics board is compatable? Thanks for your help

Hello, Your desktop is equipped with a PSU of 250W and PCIEx16 1.0 slot.First I advise you to determine the total power with this tool.Like this you'll know the power available for the new graphic board.

Can I Upgrade The Graphics Card?

Hello I am wondering if I can replace/upgrade my graphics card om my computer to a better one. I know it might be "soldered to the motherboard" but is there any way to desolder it, and if so, will I be able to replace it? If not, that would be ok, but i would be more pleased if for computers with "non-upgradable parts" the cpu and graphics card were a little more better.

Hi, De-soldering components from a multilayer motherboard is a delicate and tricky procedure. Even then there is no guarantee that you will not damage other nearby components. I can tell you this from experience. Review the motherboard specifications. Soldering components to the motherboard is generally a cost saving measure.

Why do people think they are postiing in a notebook forum when if you look around, this is clearly something else.
If you really want a new Mac you have to buy one. That is part of the fun of owning laptops, they are not upgradeable.

Dv6-6052ea (LL050EA). Can I upgrade the graphics card?

OS: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
Here's the spec: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02787054&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en...
Is there any way to ugrade the graphics card without buying a new laptop? Or allocate more dedicated RAM?
The BIOS is Insydeh20 F.1B and there are no options to alter any graphics settings. Is there any way round that?
Not that I know a lot about computer specs but the GPU seems to be the reason I can't play games on decent settings and it's driving me mad.
Cheers

Hi:
You could upgrade the video in your PC to the Radeon HD 6770 with 2 GB of dedicated memory, but the entire motherboard would have to be replaced.
The costs attendant to doing such an upgrade would exceed the cost of purchasing a new notebook with the graphics solution you were looking for, when you consider the money you may recoup selling or trading in your current model.
There are no settings in the BIOS or elsewhere to allocate a different amount of memory (dedicated or system) to the video adapter. It is all done automatically.

Can I upgrade the graphic card Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go on Tecra M5-133

Hi,
I want to change Graficcard of my Toshiba M5-133 (Quadro NVS 110M), can I install Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go Graphiccard
instead??
Thank in advanced

Hi
> can I install Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go Graphiccard instead??
No, this is definitely not possible.
The notebook technology is different from the desktop PC and several parts are not upgradeable.
The GPU (graphic card chip) is fixed on the board and the replacement or the upgrade is not possible, unfortunately.

Hi John,
Video cards in TiBooks are soldered onto the logic board, and cannot be upgraded.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in the HP ENVY 17-j053ea?

Hi
I'm considering buying the HP ENVY 17-j053ea for use as a portable workstation for applications such as Max Design, autocad and photoshop as a second system for when I need to be away from the office but still need the ability to work.
This machine seems to have a lot of bang per buck and is more in line with my budget than a full on portable workstation.
As far as upgrade options I presume I could max out the ram at 16GB and put in an SSD as the main OS and application drive and use the main 1TB drive as the mass storage unit.
What I'm wondering is if it possible to upgrade the graphics card in this machine?
I don't imagine I would be attempting such an upgrade myself but assuming I leave it into a professional is this possible.
My worry is that with some of my heavier model files I could feel the limitations of the mid range portable gfx card onboard. I could probably live with it if it is not an option but just putting feelers out.

Thanks for the reply Paul
I see.
That doesn't sound feasible so.
I can manage the other 2 upgrades within my budget but things seem to get quite expensive on the higher end platforms very quickly.
It's my first foray into the laptop/workstation arena so I'm not that familiar yet with clever upgrade strategies.
I did have the use of this model for a few days and It is a really nice overall laptop, both aesthetically and value wise.

Can i upgrade my graphics card in my HP envy 17-j102tx?what can i upgrade in this laptop?

HEllo sir,i bought this laptop for gaming purpose,but the graphics card ie nvidia 750M is too weak for gaming.so can i upgrade its graphics card?if no,is there any other option?can i exchange my laptop for a new laptop?because im totally unsatisfied with this laptop.and what can i upgrade in this laptop except ram.please help

HP actually loaned me a very similar laptop last year...an Envy 17-j029nr that had the 750M graphics and while the video was way above average, it was not a true gaming laptop. HP is not going to accept it back in trade after you have used it but it can be sold still for a decent sum and you can use the proceeds to buy a gaiming laptop. You might consider the HP Omen. It has nVidia 860 graphics with up to 4 gigs of DDR5 I believe for maybe $2200 all in. Right now I have the lower model Omen on loan from HP but mine is the version with the DDR3 video memory. It is much stronger than the 750M video in my old loaner. Oh, and there is no way to upgrade what you have. The 750M was the best video offered in that model line. It is soldered to the motherboard so there is no "card" to remove and replace. if this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

Hi Emonn
Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!
