[SOLVED] Is it Possible for me to switch a 6GB Graphics card into my gaming laptop instead of the 4GB?

[FenderFGS]

My Specs are the following:
Asus TUF Gaming FX505GT
Intel Core i5-9300H; 4 cores
8GB Ram (getting another 8GB soon)

I need to know what 6GB Vram Graphics card I can get to replace my Nvidia GeForce 1650 to be able to get the minimum system requirements to play Half Life: Alyx in march 2020

Where are you seeing all these graphics cards for laptops? Are you sure your laptop is using a discrete design GPU?

I see them all over the internet, unless all I'm seeing is for desktop which is highly unfair

You are seeing them for desktops.

Your laptop, and almost laptop in existence use a single PCB holding both the CPU and GPU. You cannot change that without changing the entire board which means a new laptop.

What about integrated graphics???

What about integrated graphics???

Far less powerful than the Nvidia GPU installed.

OMG, You are a genius! It may be expensive with getting another graphics card and getting the connection compared to just a graphics card, but Hopefully it'll work...

They also sell external GPU enclosures.
