Product: HP Notebook - 15-da0594sa
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Please is there any way I can add a dedicated graphics card to a PCIe x4 3.0 slots to my HP laptop 15 da0594sa. Also can I get a rough estimate of how different gaming would be to run games like FIFA 21 and GTA 5 if add an extra 4gb ram (to make it 8gb) and add an extra 256gb NVME SSD  to the pc right now because this system is extremely slow

Here is your Service Guide- http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06691790.pdf 

 

It shows on page 26 there are 2 small boards and brackets. One is used for a SATA hdd, the other board and bracket is used for a PCI-E ssd if I am reading this right. So you'd need to get the ssd board and bracket and replace your hhd, hdd board and bracket with the ssd version.

 

Adding another 8GB ram and pcie-e ssd will make a world of difference.

Internally, no. The discrete graphics are soldered on the motherboard.  You either have them or you don't.

 

What cpu and gpu do you in there now? And what harddrive or ssd do you have? Going for 16GB total ram would help a good bit with overall speed, not so much in gaming.

 

The model you listed has a range of Pentium to I 7 cpu's with intel graphics, while some versions have 2-4 GB of discrete graphics in addition to the intel UMA graphics.

intel i3 7100u, intel HD graphics 620, 8gb  ram and 1tb HDD. I am currently thinking adding a 256gb ssd to try and improve performance in games like FIFA and overall loading speed
