Graphics on laptop question

[Rkuhn]

i know you cant do much for laptop graphics cards. but can I do this, for example take my intel hd graphics integrated chip out and swap in a intel hd 4600 graphics chip? and re-thermal paste it or sauder it or what not? cause a 4600 is actually not that bad integrated card for gaming.

the intel ipgpu are part of the cpu. you have to see if your laptop will take the newer cpu or not.

so in simpler words id have to just swap the whole mother board? and not be able ti swap the integrated graphics part by it self from the mother board?

If you don't have HD 4600 already that means you're on a completely different generation of chip, which basically means NO you can't swap.

You can't swap motherboards either - laptop motherboards aren't built to the same standard as desktop motherboards.

You need a new laptop if you want something better.
