can laptop graphic cards be upgraded?

hey..i own a sony vaio.....with geforce go 6200 turbocache.....can i upgrade it get a geforce 8 series card for mobille series installed in it....?plz do tell!

most laptops (95% +) don't support upgrading graphics card. So i think you will have to buy a new one if you want better graphicsShegevara

Ooo.. that sucks.

Laptop motherboards are really a pain to find. Not to mention that they will cost you an arm and a leg. That means almost the whole price of the new laptop of your series.

Motherboard has to be the same size as the previous motherboard so in almost all situations that means a different motherboard for different series of laptop.

And then finnaly, If by any chance there exists a better laptop motherboard with prefered graphics card from the VAIO series you can finnaly buy it if they even sell them.

So, trust me. Upgrading a laptop graphics is a mission impossible . So much less pain in ass you will get with just buying a better one instead of driving yourself crazy.

You cant....Laptops have the graphics chip on the motherboard.....Only way to upgrade is to get another onecitizen-zero

oh this is bad...so the way graphic cards are boosting and therez a new card each day....it seems that for every new game one will need a new card...and eventually a new laptop...that is painfull!!!talal_azam

If you buy a sufficiently spec'd laptop it will last you through about 2-3 years of games, the same as a desktop would without upgrades.

A gaming laptop would also cost you a lot more than a desktop of the same spec that would last you 2-3 years with no upgrade, at least from what i've seen. I'm sure they have them cheaper somewhere.
