Attach/Change from Integrated graphic card to a dedicated graphic card

[Smriti_1243]

I've HP Pavillion 14, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel iris xe.

Can I change my graphic card? Or externally attach a dedicated graphic card using enclosures via my Type-C port with lighting symbol ?

I get 25-30 fps at low settings(unplayable). I want to attach RTX 3060 or above.

Secondly, I don't think I can enjoy more with 2.8 clock speed which I cannot change much.

To replace a graphics card, in a laptop, you must replace most of the time, the motherboard!
provided that the series has, precisely the said configuration, not all watched, but does not seem to be the case here anyway

Using a box, with graphics card is an option, provided that the computer has certain elements required for the chosen device

to know that this type of device, with power supply, and graphics card, at a certain cost, the price practically of a computer!

It would be more advantageous for you to buy a game console, cheaper @Smriti_1243

Hey Promps, thanks for the info. It was crazy useful !

Um, next ques is, if I say I'm fine with paying abit more investment on external graphic cards & power supply, What enclosures would you recommend?

I did some reasearch, it said high quality enclosures would cost too much but gives a considerable FPS. I've the lighting port so..

My work requires me to travel the world, so buying pc/consoles isn't an option.

Hi

I could only recommend something to you if I had tested it, except that is not the case!
So I could not know if the ratio / quality price would be valid, and if 100% compatible
Frankly, given the price it could be worth, case and graphics card, see if for the same price, or more or less expensive, if not better to buy another laptop if you travel a lot!
