Can i upgrade this laptop with a video card? - Toshiba Satellite L505-S5966 Notebook

You cannot upgrade this laptop video cards. most laptops do not allow video card upgrades and the ones that do, the cards cost between 200 and 500$

Hello srinatha43, hi, laptops are not that easy to upgrade, especially the video card. you are stuck with that built in laptop graphics card. you can only do is upgrade the onboard memory. Or get a better laptop with good graphics card especially the new models.

Video cards of laptops or notebooks are not generally upgradeable. Just desktops and towers are.

Hi,

The video card is built into the motherboard so there is no way to upgrade it. Sorry, you're stuck with playing the games that the card can play.



Regards.

I'm sorry to advise you, your Dell is a laptop and laptops have a built-in video chip on the motherboard and it cannot be upgraded or changed.
The video card used shared RAM, ie it uses part of the main RAM module/s, You maybe be able to increase the video RAM size in the BIOS, but this will reduce the main memory, so you might want to upgrade the RAM in the DELL.
You only other alternative is to buy a later model laptop.

Laptop motherboards have built-in video graphics chips and therefore you cannot upgrade the video card. There are no expansion sockets available for graphics card upgrades.

I'm assuming this is on a laptop? Upgrades to laptops can be tricky. If you're lucky you can upgrade your RAM and allocate more memory to the video from your bios, but even then the upgrade is minimal. Your video card is actually part of your motherboard, as such you would have to upgrade the entire board to upgrade the video card... and at that point you're better off getting a new laptop.

I'm sorry to say that there is usually no way to upgrade the video card in a laptop, so the only alternative is probably going to be to purchase a new machine.

Of course, no laptop is going to be very good at playing games. A Desktop would be a better choice, assuming it has a PCIe slot. You can then purchase any PCIe video card, and in a year or two, upgrade to a newer card to play the newer games.

Depending on the laptop, the manufacturer often has two or three choices on the video card. Before purchasing you can make the choice. If you have already purchased, you can upgrade to another video card as long as the video card is not integrated on the motherboard. Check the laptop specifications online and see if the manufacturer offers the upgrade before purchase.
