Is it possible for me to upgrade my Intel GMA X4500 ?

[J3NN_126]

I have had an inspiron N5030 for a while and I have a Intel GMA X4500HD graphics card. is there anyway I can upgrade? I am a little bit of a gamer, my games work fine for the most part but I've noticed recently that while playing, the game will freeze for a few seconds to a couple minutes at a time. I didn't have this problem until I updated my game. Should and can I upgrade my graphics card. How? Thanks for your help!!!

You cant upgrade your graphics as the X4500HD is an inbuild GPU. Moreover your laptop model doesn't support adding a separate GPU.

The problem with nearly all laptops (like at least 98% of them) is that you cannot upgrade the video card.

Only certain gaming laptops allow you to upgrade the video card and they generally start at around $1,500.
