Product: HP pavilion gaming laptop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Is there any chance I can use an external GPU for this laptop? Or even upgrade the graphics card at all or anything to increase performance?

@Leosantos 

 

What is your machine ? Some machines allow you to add an eGPU but many machines don't have internal nor external ports which are fast enough to add an eGPU.

 

Again, what is your machine ? Does it have have  Thunderbolt™ 3 port(s) ? 

 

  • If yes you can add an eGPU,
  • If no then the chance is very slim, to none.

Regards.

Would this be it? It has the symbol of a thunderbolt 3 but also another symbol underneath it. 

My pc is a HP pavilion gaming laptop 15-cx0xxx

 

Thank you.
