no, intergrated graphics cards are part of the mainboard itself (hence caled intergrated) you cant upgrade them in anyway shape or form. I'm afraid your best bet here is to just buy a dedicated card and use that as replacement

Integrated graphics aren't really cards. They are chips that are integrated into the motherboard of the computer while a dedicated video card are cards that go into PCIE slots in the motherboard.

Not two cards but two GPU chips. Integrated one will be disabled though.
