HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ak002nl GPU and RAM Upgrade

[Janghezio]

Hi all!

I was wondering if I can upgrade my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M (4 GB dedicated DDR3L)

with a more powerful GTX 960M (DDR5)

AND

if my motherboard does support DDR4 ram

Thanks a lot

Regards

Hi,

1. No you can't replace video card. The series only has 2 options (depending on CPU):

Switchable discrete graphics:

• NVIDIA N16P-GT (GeForce 950M) with up to 4096 MB of dedicated video memory (256Mx16 DDR3 900MHz x 8 PCs, 1GHz bridge to 900MHz) (Skylake-H)
• NVIDIA N16S-GT (GeForce 940M) with up to 2048 MB of dedicated video memory (256Mx16 DDR3 900MHz x 4 PCs, 1GHz bridge to 900MHz) (Skylake-U)

 2. No, it ONLY supports DDR3L RAM. Please note: DDR4 RAM won't fit to DDR3 and DDR3L slots.

Regards.
