HP Pavilion x360 13-u011na
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So, i have a HP Pavilion x360 13-u011na. It has an Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 in it. It's a pretty bad GPU for modern games. I am planning to buy ASUS AREZ Radeon RX560 EVO 2GB GDDR5 128 Bit. But im not experienced with computer stuff and i dont know if its compatible with my laptop. I think it has something to do with the motherboard but honestly i have no idea.

Hi:

 

The GPU is an integral part of the motherboard, and cannot be changed unless the motherboard is replaced with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics.  You probably would also need to buy a different heat sink.

 

The cost of the parts alone (if you could find them), would most likely exceed the cost you originally paid for your notebook.

So, what should i do now?

Buy a notebook with better graphics.

 

You can't upgrade the graphics in any of today's notebooks no matter who makes them.

 

The only notebooks that have removable graphics cards are the business class mobile workstations like the HP Zbooks.
