Is it possible to change out any video card for a laptop?

is it possible to change out a video card on a laptop.. i have herd some say no and some say it depends on what laptop. i want to know if there is any possible way to change out the video card on a sony vaio tx vgn somethingrather laptop. it is really small and i want to change the card so i can play wow.|||No, only around 5% of modern laptops have changeable graphic cards. People who buy laptops dont specify this at point of sale, as laptop already have compromised graphics (limited space, no cooling, fixed small screens), poor graphics is a given.



Any person who requires good graphics would buy a desktop computer.



Manufactures don't see the need.



You can try a ram upgrade and allocate more of your ram for your laptops graphic card. should improve your graphics.|||no. most laptops use integrated graphics chipsets, which are bound onto the motherboard of your laptop and can't be changed. only the really high-performance laptops, like ones from alien-ware or falcon northwest, use discrete graphics cards, but by that point theres no need to change out graphics cards. so really, no, you can't change the video card for a laptop|||Mostly you can't, because laptops generally have integrated graphics cards, but if you don't have an integrated graphics card, then you should be able to. My laptop's card itsn't integrated and I think I can change it:)|||Usually - no. The new card must have exact measurements and use the same slot. You don't have much flexibility with laptops. I would check with Sony tech support for list of supported video cards for the model.|||Most likely not.|||From what I've heard, no.|||No
