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

I have this laptop: HP Envy 15 15-ae105na Core i7-6500U 12GB 2TB Nvidia GeForce 940M 2GB DVD-RW Windows 10 but the graphics keep on maxing-out whilst playing games (PUBG).

 

How can I best upgrade the graphics card?

Hi:

 

You notebook does not have any removable or upgradable graphics cards.

 

The GPU is part of the motherboard, and the only way to upgrade the graphics, would be to replace the entire motherboard with one listed in the service manual for your model series that may come with a better GPU.

 

This would cost you as much or more as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
