Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on this laptop?

Not easliy. You need to open the entire unit up, take out the motherboard and solder in the card. Oh, no warranty if you do this .

No. This is a full size PCI-E card for desktop computers. Laptops use an entirely different graphics card system to desktops. Contact Alienware support for questions regarding upgrading your laptop, for a fee they might be able to upgrade it.

Hi Laura, We don't have anything proprietary on the machine so as long as the card and power supply fit in the chassis (and it should), you should be able to upgrade both easily :)

No. This is a desktop spec CPU. You can't upgrade a laptop CPU. All you can do is upgrade RAM and Harddrive.

Yes you can any graphics card would do. I got the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHZ OC 2 GB 256 -bit GDDR5 DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100354OC-2L.

This type of GPU only works for desktop computers. And most laptops parts can't be upgraded (except for RAM memory).

No. It's really hard to upgrade a GPU in a laptop. Even if you could; a more powerful GPU means you would need a new power supply as well.

Yes the ram can be changed. Th graphics can be changed but the card would take an expansion slot unless you purchase the pc without the integrated video card.

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

It should be able to do so if you are using a NVIDIA graphics card, or possibly intel.

contact 'computer upgrade king' and inquire. I think they can make it with whatever you want in it.

It already has the latest graphics card (670). I don't think you can change the hardware, but you can upgrade the driver by going to www.nvidia.com Just let the website automatically detect the graphics card and tell you the current driver and if necessary install the latest driver.

I don't know but you can go to the HP website and type in the make and model of your laptop and you should be able to find allthe possible hardware upgrades for your laptop. That's what I did.
