Upgrade Laptops graphic card? - Jay - 02-05-2011
Is there any way I could upgrade the graphics card on my laptop? The one I have right now is complete crap.
Also, are there any virtual graphics cards? Or emulators that emulate a graphics card?
Thanks.

How could you emulate a card ??? Its hardware.
And i may be wrong but the graphic card of your laptop must be integrated to the motherboard. If you want to upgrade, maybe its time for a new pc.

I've seen virtual graphics cards emulators before, they just don't work with my PC.
And everything on my laptop is great except for my graphics card, I don't think I need to upgrade my whole laptop just because of a graphics card.

I have got the same problem. My laptop is great in all other areas except for graphics. I know you can buy external graphics cards. I have seen those before. Maybe that's what you want.

If there was such thing as a graphics card emulator or something like that, I'm sure it would slow your computer down to crap.
An external graphics card might be possible. Tell us what laptop you have so we can see if you can upgrade it

I can't find much info on it, do you have a manufacturer's page or something?

there are laptop experts who upgrade GPUs by changing its GPU chip.
but its very expensive, i suggest that you rather invest to a new one.

Hello..
No, there is no virtual graphic card or emulators that emulates a graphic card. It needs physical exist to do something.. Thanks.

I don't think a virtual graphics card would work. What a graphics card is physically updates your basic manufacturer's graphics to great beautiful graphics. How can a virtual software do that?
