I got a hp pavilion sleekbook 15-b006ee , can I buy a new graphics card and put it in my laptop? I really like this laptop but the graphics card is not that good... GeForce GT 630M, the laptop is actually really slim, and I was wondering if I can do that.

I'm looking for something like GTX or something better... is it possible?

Some pictures might help you out (maybe):

Short answer is no, long answer is maybe, but you'd need to find a GPU compatible with that motherboard, somehow buy one (e.g. GTX 760m) and then hope the battery, and all other components, can handle it.

You CANNOT fit a desktop grade graphics card into a laptop. And even if you could fit it in, too much heat would be generated for the laptop to even work

Alright thanks. I think I will have to buy a PC then... :/
 


If your on board GPU can handle games then stick with it for now :) If you want a gaming PC though, post on the forums and we'll all be happy to help you select parts within your budget :)
