I own an acer aspire 4520 laptop, with Nvidia 7000 M series graphic card.. Lately, im not satisfied with its performance since most of the high end games rarely run decently on my system...

Can i get a new graphic card for my existing system?? im not talkin about a new system altogether..

can be possible, if you have dedicted GPU installed in your lappy; else can not be changed,

Talked to HP tech support for this. He was from US. He gave me a bad picture!!! He told me that you can upgrade but a huge cost. Actually if you want to add a new GPU then the whole lappy motherboard has to be changed. My lappy is $600 in US. And he estimated the upgrade at $400 to $500!!! So, I hope... you get the idea!! :grin:

So, the idea is, always get a lappy with better, improved and latest gpu.. :)
