Hello I was wondering if there is any pci slot or mxm slot on my hp pavilion dv6-3231n, I would like to know because I really do want to run a certain game and a program but the intel HD graphics card isn't strong enough to run it well. 

 

Or if there even any other way i can install a graphics card please let me know

-thank you

No sorry. The video is soldered to the motherboard and there is no slot or place to put anything different. You could theoretically get a motherboard from the dv6-3000 series that had nVidia graphics but the cost is not a good investment. Perhaps $400 or more with labor. And that graphics is now dated and maybe will not help play the game you want to run.
