I don’t know really anything about graphics cards but I was thinking about getting a better one for my laptop if it’s even possible. The one my laptop came with is Intel Iris Xe Graphics, which from what I’ve been able to find from my quick google search is it’s an “integrated GPU” or something. Is there a way to tell if I can change the graphics card of my laptop? Thanks!

    Did you ever find an answer on this?

    Lately I’ve seen lots of external PCI-E slots that attach to a USB 3 cable, and they’re quite cheap. Theoretically you could add an external graphics card that way, but I have not tried it. Someone told me the heat that would bring to my USB 3 expresscard would risk damage. I think these external PCI-E slots are intended to be attached to a desktop so a cryptocurrency miner can use the GPU.
