can you replace the graphics card

I don't think so - I don't see any expansion ports on the inside of the PC. I think you're stuck with the built-in graphics....

No it can not, unless you replace motherboard, can buy a new computer for the amount it costs. I've tried upgrading it that's how i found out.

You would need to change out the whole motherboard. It wouldn't be easy or possible even supported unfortunately

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 you should be able to use another graphics card simotaneously with this one. If you aren't running more than a two screen setup this would be highly unnecessary. Unless you run animation/3D modeling editing software on both screens or simotaneously

It will work fine as a replacement. I am not sure how much of a performance upgrade it will be however. It supports new features like DirectX 11 and Display Port.

(Name Goes Here), If you replace the video card, you would likely use the PCI-E x16 slot that the current video card is in. The chassis will support video cards up to 400mm (15.75 inches) in length. Please note that the proper installation of any component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer. Also, when upgrading the video card, please make certain to take note of the power requirements of the specific card you choose, as they may require you to upgrade the power supply as well.

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 :)

You can just make sure you uninstall the drivers for it while it is still plugged in. Once they're uninstalled remove the old card and add the new one. Install the new drivers that come with the card and you should be all good. I had issues with the drivers on the cd not matching the card so if all else fails just grab the newest driver online.Enjoy :D (R9 290 is a great card)

Probably you don't need a new one (although some older cards and low powered stuff might not handle it). Since your card has mini display port I;d guess that it probably can handle it though. What graphics card?You want one that does UHD at 60Hz over DisplayPort.

Yes, it can be replaced. I have done it myself. As others already mentioned you will need a msata ssd

Just remove the AMD drivers and card, then install the new one and it's drivers.

Check power requirements for your new graphics card. Chances are you will also need to upgrade the power supply.

No, the graphics card is integrated, i.e part of the motherboard, but you can always get an external video processor that can connect through USB port if you want to make machines with integrated graphics a game machine!

U can, but your not utilizing the full potential of the graphics card, i am running 600 watts into my motherboard, that is ideal for both the motherboard and the graphics card, u can find a bronze 600watt power supply for $25 on http://amazon.com.

You generally cannot upgrade the graphics card in a laptop. Same with processor.

I do not know about the graphics card,because we do not have this PC any more.
