Question Graphic card ASUS ROG

[ggelli2014]

Good evening everyone,

I have a 2015 ASUS ROG G751JY laptop with a GeForce GTX 980M graphic card.

I would like to replace the graphic card with a newer one.
Could you suggest me some compatible graphic card and give me some indications on where to buy it?

Thanks a lot.

Do not think you can upgrade your laptop GPU your chip is on motherboard attached to it

Why? Can it not be replaced with a more recent GPU like a desktop?

Only heard that some laptops in this world can upgrade GPU but most laptops can not because chip is attached to motherboard.

Nope. Most GPUs built into modern laptops are soldered, which means to replace it for an upgrade is going to be only in that one generation and its going to be an expensive endeavor. Your system doesn't have an MXM port too so even if you have the cooling capacity you cant replace your GPU.

You're going to need a new laptop.
