Hello Binaya Shahi,

My name is Shrikanth and I work for the Social Media and Community Team at Dell. You will not be able to upgrade the graphics card since the current one is integrated to the motherboard. You will have to replace the entire board.


Thanks and regards

If you run AutoCAD, you don't need gaming (GeForce) GPU in the laptop, you need a workstation laptop (Precision series).

thank you for your suggestion I have heard about that precision vs speed thing but i guess even a gaming graphics card can make autocad run way faster in 3d modelling and rendering. I don't know if I am right or wrong.

I have the same laptop and the exact same problem, think I´m going to buy a desktop one so I can run lumion and 3dmax correctly

If you find another way to improve it, please let me know, I´ll do the same.
