You cannot install a new graphics card onto a laptop. There is really only a very small select few computers on which you can do this, and they are mainly high end, purpose built computers. You're kinda stuck on that one there.

I don't think that laptop has MXM graphics card so you cannot swap it out.

You have two option:

1. vidock if you have expresscard slot or 2. you can open the computer and use the mini pcie connector, connect mini pcie connector to pcie x16 converter and a desktop psu for power. But I don't think you want to do number 2 because you have no mobility at all. Either way, your graphics card will be very bottlenecked by the bandwidth and they cost money which IMO is not worth it and is better spend on a desktop gaming build or a better laptop if you need more graphic power.
