There is no graphics "card" as such it is a chip soldered on the motherboard so there is no way to remove the video chip and replace or upgrade it. And the nVidia 740M video that you have is the best offered on that model series so even if you could spend an unlimited amount of money it is not even possible to get a motherboard with better video on it. Sorry.
