Is the graphics card upgradable?

The Intel HD graphics is on the motherboard. You could add an additional graphics card to one of the PCI-e slots but it would probably have to be a 'half-height' card. I did a little research on this but decided to wait and see if it would even be necessary first. So far the integrated graphics have worked just fine as I'm able to play HD (*.ts) video files full screen without any issues. Once I start editing HD (Blu-Ray) video files, it may become necessary to add a video card but I don't know the answer to that yet.

yes it comes with a moderate graphics card and a good amount of ram. the graphics card is upgradeable

No the CPU and GPU are already built into the motherboard and cannot be replaced, all it needs is ram memory and a hard drive, as far as I remember you can't upgrade the processor

I upgraded graphics card and power supply , however even before doing do it could still run newer games just average specs on graphics unless you upgrade , mainly lacks shadow detail (stock graphics card) but still def worth it

Yes you can install a new graphics card. You will also need to upgrade the power supply to match the card. It isn't really a big deal though, power supplies are cheap. I totally recommend this computer, it is great. (There are 12 usb ports on this machine. Figure that into your opinion.)

it's a laptop with integrated graphics. no upgrade available. as a matter of fact, no laptop can upgrade a graphics card unless you are on a laptop worth several thousand dollars. what you *can* do is uninstall all the bloatware, streamline the msconfig to load only a few things, update the AMD drivers, and turn off Aero windows graphics to speed it up. I'm debating upgrading the ram to a faster ram and 8GB, but not sure it makes much difference. An overclocked ram set of 8GB would make the most difference. 8GB limit on this machine. For better graphics, look for an A8 or A10 AMD chip with a 7000G series APU or preferable dedicated GPU.

You cannot upgrade the processor but you can upgrade the Graphics Card to anything that will support the PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot

It should definitely improve your graphics experience, but double check that your power supply can handle the new card. Also, is your current graphics handler integrated into the cpu or mobo?

No but the next model up does for only a 20$ more. Plus you will most likely want the option of DVI or VGA if you have a dedicated graphics card, this model has VGA only.

Yes, as long as you know what you are doing. There are limits due to the slim design but upgrades are available as far as video cards and others. If anyone decides to upgrade just take it to someone or youtube it

I believe you can install this in your computer. I installed the same set in mine and it helped out quite a bit. I feel this is one of the first things I would do to upgrade a computer as far as speed goes. I do not believe this would help the graphics out though.

Not as it stands, you would need to add a decent graphics card for gaming and a more powerful PSU but it has upgradability for this with a PCI express 2.0 port on the motherboard

Hi Thank you for your interest. It's compatible but it's not enough to run high graphic games. We recommend above GTX650 / 750. Thank you.

John Aho,You can upgrade the graphics card, or any other component, as you choose. Please note that any component that is properly installed and does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

You can put the new one in but before you install the new one you have to uninstall all of the NVIDIA drivers then you can put the new one in and install the new drivers for the AND card.

There is only 1 DIMM slot and the RAM is 4GB, not sure if it is upgradable or not.

I brought Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt and ASUS GTX 660 Ti Series. It runs flawlessly and I even got the 3D vision glasses. If you want to spend less money, then build your own desktop computer. That's something I wished I did instead. Yes, you can upgrade the power and graphic.
