Product: HP 15-g002ax
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi all,

 

I have been using HP 15-g002ax for few years now and it is still working perfectly fine.

I had recently upgraded this laptop with a SATA III SSD and wanted to upgrade the GPU as well.

 

I understand I would end up buying an older GPU for this purpose and have made peace with that fact.

 

However the problem is, I'm not sure which GPU would be compatible with my current laptop.

I believe I have to consider wattage and memory type; although not sure what else to consider.

 

Could anyone be able to provide a small list of graphic cards that this laptop will support so that I can use those as a reference? Perhaps something within the budget of $75 USD (~5K INR)?

 

EDIT: Also, can I add another stick of RAM?

 

Current laptop specifications: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-Notebook-PC-series/6545564/model/7101305/document/c0431501...

 

CPU: 2 GHz AMD Quad-Core A8-6410 APU with Radeon R5 Graphics

RAM: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM (1 x 4 GB)

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8570M Graphics (2 GB DDR3 dedicated)

Hi,


As in many many consumer notebooks available in market, you cannot upgrade or replace processor or graphic chip. It is integrated/soldered on to the motherboard.
