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!!

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:

Graphics is built into the motherboard.
Can only upgrade with new motherboard.
Only a few laptops have graphics cards that can be up graded. "Like Alienware"
Good luck.

Can I use an external graphics card over Thunderbolt?

Could anyone please tell me if I can use a graphics card with a Mac Pro 2013 over Thunderbolt using an expansion chassis? I have read that OS X doesn't support graphics cards over thunderbolt, however I've also read things that indicate it is possible.
I'm thinking of the using NVIDIA K5000 for Mac with aMagma Thunderbold to PCIe Expansion Chassis. Any help or advice appreciated. Thank you:)

Here is an article about Drivers that do just what you described, but for the NVIDIA 4000.

An important deficiency remains. You don't get near a 16x slot worth of bandwidth, so transfers to/from the card may be slow. But if you want this for GPU computation, it may be workable (if expensive).

Is it possible to add a graphics card to the back of my HP

Hello I want to know if it's possible to add a new graphics card to the back of a Laptop not inside of it but on the back of my laptop ??? my graphics Card is a Intel 4000 graphics card is a terrible for gaming TERRIBLE !!!

Not sure where it would go on the back, but no the system is closed. There is no place to insert a graphics card or attach it. You will find some hokey stuff on the internet where people say you can plug a video card in the wireless card slot but those are a hoax at worst and at best they do not tell you that such a thing would not even perform as well as what you have and is likely to damage the motherboard.

Is it physically possible to upgrade the Graphics Card contained within the Mid 2011 Mac Mini that starts @ $799 (The one containing a AMD Radeon HD 6630M w/256MB)?

Simply put, I may occasionally use a handful of high-demand video games on this device. An AMD Radeon HD 6630M w/256MB dedicated is a decent card, but may fall behind on the more demanding games, especially if I keep this system for an extended period of time. And if, sometime in the future, this device still stands but I find I require a more potent graphical source, is it physically possible to upgrade this piece of hardware without irreparably damaging the machine, regardless the methods needed?
I would be more than willing, at that time, to void the warranty if it still stands and perform extensive deconstruction of the device, or have qualified computer repair workers do so for me. I just want to know if it can be done reasonably. I am aware that if this were the Integrated Intel HD graphics 3000 ONLY version, this would be impossible since that system is connected to the motherboard itself. I am hoping this is not a similiar case
Worse case scenario, it turns out to be entirely impossible, and I will either have to look into other possible devices (should the price of SSDs drop soon, the iMac models as of late look encouraging, but only in that lower price scenario) or make the most of the 6630's capabilities, which I honestly doubt will be too terrible.
Before answering in the negative, please attempt to investigate every possibility.

Nope, the "Integrated Graphics" aren't really a video card at all.

Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M.
So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics?
If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.
It has an Intel Core i7- 3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (5400 rpm).

Hi,
You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink.
Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

You're very welcome.
I am not a PC repair tech by trade or training.
Other than the replacement motherboard, and fan and heatsink combination, I wouldn't know if any other parts are required.
The parts you need are listed in chapter 3 of the service manual with the part numbers.
I also don't know if the boards come with the windows 8 product key included in the BIOS.
There may be multiple motherboards listed, so make sure you get the right one.
Same for the fan and heatsink.

Will it be feasible to add another graphics card to my laptop G505

Hi, I have G505 59379534 model laptop purchased six months back. I am pretty satisfied with its performance. I wish to know whether it is possible to add another graphics card to enhance graphics.

sorry to be the one to tell you most low end laptops have fixed gfx cards and are not upgradable.
only a few high end laptops have the ability to be upgraded or added to

External graphics cards

I have read some information about this Thunderbolt port and some people are say that there is no reason why we cant have a external graphics card for the 2011 mac's Surly this would be a great addition esp if it was a apple upgrade as this could potential move apple in to a different direction with PC gamers.
Either way back to the point of the question, will this ever happen, is it even possible??

It's certainly possible as Thunderbolt is basically an external PCI Express port... the same port that an internal card would typically connect to. However, just having access to the systems PCI bus isn't enough, there would need to be driver support to allow switching between the internal and external cards... as well as drivers for the external card itself. While it may happen sometime, I wouldn't expect to see anything in the near future. There are very few Thunderbolt devices at this point. Developing an external card which will rival the internals in performance is going to be an expensive process and it may not be considered economically viable. The current video cards (especially in the upper end 15" and 17" machines) are actually quite gaming capable. To get performance similar to today's highend desktops, you're going to need an external power supply as well. Those cards use a significant amount of power to get that performance. You're more likely to see the same gradual increase in notebook GPU performance that we typically see over the years.

NEED HDCP-COMPLIANT ADD-ON GRAPHICS CARD FOR P6710F

I need referral to a compatible hdcp-compliant add-in graphics card for the p6710f desktop machine. This machine has a 250-watt power supply.

The first thing that you will need is a new power supply unit (PSU). The newer mid-level dedicated video cards require at least 400W to operate properly. I normally recommend at least 500W, but 600W is even better for possible future upgrades. I like Corsair products.
Here is a video card that should do what you need. The majority of video cards today are HDCP compatible. I suggest that you call EVGA Tech Support to see if there is a VBIOS update for the card to assure that it will work with a Legacy BIOS before you buy it. It requires at least a 400W PSU.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.

No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.
