Windows 7: How do i change my Laptop Graphics Card?

I really want to have high framerate on high settings with i play League of Legends or any type of PC Game.



Im currently running Windows 7 and 8 on separate.

Specs:

HP Pavillion g6 Notebook PC
AMD Phenom(tm) II P960 Quad-Core Processor (4 CPU's), ~1.8 GHz
6 GB of Ram
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series

Generally you can't change the graphics card, as it's actually a chip soldered onto your motherboard.

Is there a way if i can go to like Future Shop and Bestbuy if they can do it for me? cause i really hate my Graphics card and i want to upgrade to a nice one

You could replace your cpu with one that has a gpu built onto it...AMD calls theirs APU's...not sure what intel calls theirs.

Then you need to make sure your laptop mobo will accept or be able to use said chip.

But like FuturDreamz stated....not likely. If your looking for a laptop to play games and high quality and GPU intensive games, then you should be looking for a gaming laptop. Those laptops are quite pricey...anywhere from 1K to 2K in US dollars.

so a CPU with a GPu with it?

Have a look here...

AMD A6-Series AD540KOKHJBOX Dual-Core A6-5400K Black Edition APU - 1MB L2 Cache, 3.6GHz, Socket FM2, Radeon HD 7540D (192 Cores), Dual Graphics Ready, DirectX 11, Fan, Unlocked, Retail at TigerDirect.com

Forget it. It will not work. The heat of any higher performance component will kill you. Normal laptops are no gaming machines. The whole cooling system is not layed out for that. Get a desktop. There you have a lot of options.

And guys, don't encourage him to do that. He'll kill his nice little laptop.

Is this a good one cause im not familiar with any good Graphic Cards these days i always see people talking about Nvidia and how its really good. Also how can i tell if a graphic card can be support with my computer like if it will run properly or the graphics card will over run my computer making other processes slow

absolutely agree - don't tamper with it..
you'll wreck it completely


If you want to play those hi-spec games, you'll need to get a hi-spec laptop..

Alright thanks guy lool,
