I'm a big time gamer and wan't to know if i can get an external graphic card, or just a new graphic card. I can run something like Batllefront farely well, but GTA5 is a very big and complex game and my computer has trouble rendering it all. What can I do to make it run better?

Hi,
No, unfortunately this is not an option for many laptops (could be over 95%) including yours.

Hi,
Sorry, the statement is for me. Upgrading this way, laptop would become a desktop and with that amount of money I can build a much better desktop for games in term of price/performance.
For you, you can try, it's your money.
