Replaceable GPU on a laptop?

  • Hi po! Tanong ko lang po kung talaga po bang narereplace or interchange ang certain graphics card ng isang laptop?
  • Bring your laptop to an Authorized Service Center, usually laptop GPUs are \"Non-Field replacement units\" (NFRU)
  • What kind of laptops have interchangeable GPU though? Does it have a special kind of motherboard. Is it easy to replace like HD, RAM or do you need technical assistance?
  • Based from standards, most laptops have only interchangeable/upgradable hard drives and memory modules. Laptop GPU\'s are usually built in to the motherboard. Yes you need technical assistance from an Authorized Service Center depending on the brand of your laptop so that they can make some proper diagnostics.
  • Would you recommend buying a new laptop rather than upgrading the GPU? I\'m canvassing laptops sa site na \'to at nacurious ako ng may makita puwede palang palitan ang GPUs ng ibang laptop.
  • there are a very few laptops that can have their GPU\'s replaced by an end user. And even then a soldering gun and a hacksaw may be required

    even if you find one, your next problem is, e saan ka makakabili ng replacement GPU? kahit ebay madalang


    so practically speaking malabo
  • Usually, only high end gaming laptops have replaceable GPUs because most of them have MXM slots.
