Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop - 16-a0032dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Looking to upgrade my graphics card on my gaming Laptop. The reason I want to upgrade is to be able to go on the internet and go on to the meta versa. Currently every time I have it open on my browser the computer can't process it. 

Thus forcing my browser to freeze and it is unplayable or usable til I close the site down. 

Any ideas were to start for a graphics card?

Hi:

 

The graphics adapter is an integral part of the motherboard and not a separate removable card.

 

The only way to upgrade the graphics would be to replace the motherboard with one that comes with better graphics.

 

Motherboards are listed in chapter 3 of your notebook's service manual.

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

You may also have to replace the heatsink too.

 

When all is said and done, that would cost you more than buying a new notebook with better graphics.
