Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello.  Once I asked a question, and your support is greatly helped me in the selection of RAM for my beloved laptop. At the moment I began to think about replacing the video card. And is it possible? And what kind of video card you can change?
Also I'm interested in the question is that if the integrated video card, the video card is replaced with the replacement of the motherboard?

Thanks for answer. Stas.

No. You do not have video cards, your sleekbook has two video solutions.  Welcome to the world of notebook PC technology. It is not the same as desktop motherboard technology. 

 

Intel HD video is on the same chip as the processor.

The Nvidia 630m 2gb is a discrete mini PCIe video adapter, not a video card.  It is not upgradeable.

The Intel HD video solution in your notebook is actually on the same chip as the CPU. It is now called an APU. It is not on the systemboard. Replacement of the systemboard would be required to upgrade the Intel HD video. Unfortunately, the Intel Core i5 processor is the best this notebook has to offfer. There are no compatible systemboards with Intel Core i7 processors.

 

You have an sleekbook. Ugrading the video card is not a viable option. Notebooks do not have video cards. Some high end notebooks do have discrete video adapters.

 

If you were wanting to upgrade video cards and other components then you should have been considering a desktop PC.
