After 5 years my AMD GPU went on my HP Envy 17 model LW900AV. Since this model has switchable graphics (2 GPUs) I uninstalled the AMD drivers and now use the unit with only the Intel HD Graphics gpu. Which was used only for lightweight graphics, not great for video or gaming. Not a great picture...

Does anyone have any opinions on my original post on picking a replacement or problems I might encounter? Hardware, OS or otherwise?

Since this was there top of the line unit when I bought it and the first day I had it I had to send it back for a new motherboard b/c the battery wouldn't charge, I was hoping that meant it was possible for me to replace it.

After 5 years my AMD GPU went on my HP Envy 17 model LW900AV. As you know this model has switchable graphics and 2 gpu's and my intel card still works, so I uninstalled the AMD so I can still use it with low graphic capabilities. I kinda like this unit and I'm tempted to replace the motherboard...
