HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-dk0055nr

For my gaming laptop is it possible that I can buy a newer and better graphics card and use it in place of my other one?

@Pwrjp,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

That is a really good question.  Your HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-Dk0055nr (7WK83UA), according to: Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion Gaming 15 Laptop PCIMPORTANT! This document is intended fo..., appears to be sold with different system-board integrated graphics (GTX 1050, GTX 1650 and GTX 1660 Ti).  And indeed, when we look here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/HP-Pavilion-Gaming-Laptop-15-dk0xxx/110063, you see these different laptop 15-Dk editions.

 

The only way to improve graphics performance, is to swap your current system board (assuming you don't have the top GTX 1660 Ti model) with a better one.

 

The manual lists these system board (motherboard) options:

The challenge is to find the top system boards -and without breaking the bank, so to speak. Could not locate the GTX 1660 Ti boards* State-side, and the next one up (GTX 1650) was available but are very expensive: HP L58865-601 for sale | eBay -and ship via the PRC.

 

* The GTX 1660 Ti system board is available via AliExpress (I happen to have made many satisfactory purchases through them): Placa Mae L58867-601 For Hp Pavilion Gaming 15-dk Laptop Motherboards Fpc52 La-h463p W/ I7-9750h In ..., and at a pricing I would at least consider.

 

[EDIT:] Ironically, as this purchase example shows, it appears far less expensive to purchase a used HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-Dk laptop fitted with GTX 1650 integrated graphics than a separate system board: HP Pavilion 15.6 inch (256GB, Intel Core i5 10th Gen., 2.50GHz, 8GB) Gaming... | eBay.

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
