Is it possible to upgrade an Asus X556 UQ's graphics card ?

[andrewchristopher432]

Hey guys... I just bought this budget laptop for around 1300 USD, and I was kinda wondering if it's possible to upgrade its GPU, and I'll need some advice whether this type of laptop's GPU is integrated or not, or the current GPU is compatible with higher end NVIDIA graphics cards. My GPU is currently 940MX 2GB. (detailed model : ASUS X556UQ-DM1127T)

No, from the disassembly video, its clearly soldered to the motherbd. Sorry.

if you pay 1300 usd for laptop then you could go Egpu : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIo93jMrAQ8

You also can use used gpu:s and used psu for this since you dont risk anything else than gpu if your psu breaks.
Ofcourse this wont work if you want to play elsewhere, this is just if you use it like desktop pc at home
