Its a laptop so unfortunately, you can't really swap video. Laptops are extremely limited because everything is built on the motherboard - including your video chip.
Sorry for the bad news....

It depends on the notebook. Some of them have the MXM 1, 2, 3 or HE Slot (Mobile PCI Express Module) and you can swap the cards (rather) easily.

Most laptops actually do have removable GPU's, but they are usually tucked into very awkward places and are held down with security screws.
This does void warranty and finding another GPU that will fit into the small space of your laptop and still function and connect would be extremely difficult. |
