Can you upgrade or change the video card on a laptop?

Modified on Fri, 26 Jan at 3:24 PM

Most laptop motherboards have video cards chips soldered onto the board itself. As a result, we cannot remove the video card chip without damaging the computer. Certain high-end laptops allow for video cards to be swapped out for different brands; however, there is a very high chance that the heat sink will not match or fit into the computer, causing improper cooling/performance on the machine itself.
