hi I have hp core i3 laptop and can anybody tell me that I can change its graphic card
 
Solution
you have to google the model number and service parts. see if your laptop has two video cards one the onboard intel ipgpu and a nvidia or amd. if it a low end laptop most of them just have intel ipgpu. if your laptops has both your best bet is email the vendor to see what video card service parts will work. putting in the wrong part if it uses more power then the old video card can zap the mb.

You can't change it. Best option is to go for another laptop. Most of the laptop hardware doesn't come with a GPU that's detachable. So, you are stuck with what you have. :-(
 


it has only one gpu
