Hi,

Specs:

Intel Core i5-6300U (2,4 GHz)

8 Gt (1x8 Gt) DDR4 2133 MHz

Windows 10 Pro

Thanx alot in advance!

Hi. Welcome to the forum!

 

I wish I had better news for you, but no, the Intel® HD Graphics 520 is as good as it gets for your Elitebook.

 

The graphics in the HP EliteBook 840 G3 Notebook PC is not upgradeable.

 

The EliteBook 850 G3 would have been a better choice for graphics.
