    Changing card graphics(HD3000 intel) in Dell Laptop. Is it possible?


    Hi,
    I'm not sure if I'm posting this thread in the right section, its my first thread post here.

    I have a Dell n5110 i5(intel HD 3000 graphics),that I bought last year to assist me with my studies. I didn't care much about the graphics when I purchased it.
    I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I read that I should have bought a laptop with a better card graphics if I was to play the latest games.Of all the games I would have liked to play GTA 4. I know its not possible with what I have.

    I love my laptop though. And I intend to have it with me for a longtime even if I don't get to play the latest games(I can play older ones like Hitman blood money).
    I'm curious, since I haven't found the answer elsewhere, whether it is possible to have a gaming card graphics added one day for the model of laptop I have.
    Thanks in advance!

    I looked at the specs for the N5110 and that laptop is designed for dual graphics.
    It says it has an optional AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics card.

    First, I would check in the Device Manager to see if you have 2 graphics devices, if you do not already know that you bought the laptop without the dedicated graphics option.

    If not, then I would look at purchasing the optional card from Dell.
    I'd have more info but without a Service Tag number you can't get any info out of Dell.
