ENVY dv6
Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)

Hello, my friends.

I'm here looking to upgrade my laptop named ENVY dv6 with core i7 3630QM & Beats audio & GT 635M 

what I want to change actually is my GPU card because I have "Bottleneck" everything is over 10% they recommended me to use GTX 1060 with Q-MAX design.  

so I'm here now waiting for your options to tell me what I have to do and is it upgradeable or not!

 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

You should provide the exact model or product number number of your PC for specific help. I believe you have the DV6-7000 series with that processor.

 

I can tell you that the graphics card is not upgradeable as it is integrated on the motherboard (soldered) together with graphics subsystem.

 

Max RAM is 16GB of DDR3 1600Mhz (2x8GB)

 

You could replace the hard drive with an SSD which would increase everyday performance, however will not help if graphics resource is needed. For more powerfull graphics you will need to replace the PC.

Thanks for your helpful reply,
I would like to ask again about the backlight on this version because I don't have the backlit button F5 or any key.
