Dumb Question...can I change the Graphic's Card....

Absolutely! The graphics card that comes with this computer is not a high performance gaming graphics card. Also, the display port output will not work with a display port converter cable, so it must be connected to a monitor with a display input.

Hi Candace. This should replace the original card - and should go in the same slot that the original one is removed from. You will also need to attach a little jumper cable (provided in the upgrade kit) between the graphics card and a socket on the motherboard. Whole installation should take under 1/2 hour including opening and closing the case. So far, the card has been performing perfectly. Good luck to you! Ken.

This card was for a desktop- (Home media center). The On-board graphics were just "OK" and I've lived with the results for about a year before upgrading to this card. But to add to your question- Who doesn't want better graphics quality from their notebook PC? You can get there by doing it yourself. But be warned: If the upgrade is possible at all for your laptop, it can be a time-consuming operation that involves disassembling virtually your entire notebook, so don't enter into this process unless you are willing to accept the risk of doing serious harm to your machine.

You can just make sure you uninstall the drivers for it while it is still plugged in. Once they're uninstalled remove the old card and add the new one. Install the new drivers that come with the card and you should be all good. I had issues with the drivers on the cd not matching the card so if all else fails just grab the newest driver online.Enjoy :D (R9 290 is a great card)

I don't think this can be done. But it does have an amazing graphics card built in! :D

I run Corels' Paint Shop Pro X which can use Photoshop plug-ins without problem. You do have room to upgrade the graphics card if you want to.

Yes, you can run a graphic card with this processor. If you have the right motherboard and use the specific cards that will work in tandem with the apu. You can go to AMD or ATI website and it should have that information.

John Aho,You can upgrade the graphics card, or any other component, as you choose. Please note that any component that is properly installed and does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

No, it's part of the processor. I was actually researching this yesterday. If you can, try to to get the one that has a dual graphics combo, I believe it's the 8670 or 8750

I personally completely replaced my original Graphics Card with this one (did not keep old card in unit), BUT I watched a YouTube video where they just added the updated newer card to their system. The new card would replace the PCI slot of the original card,,, and then plug the original card into the secondary PCI slot.

No it doesn't, but your question is starting to be obsolete. Instead of asking about a graphics 'card', ask about your graphics requirements. Unless you're a very high-end gamer, I think you'll find the latest Intel integrated graphics used in this and similar computers now meet or exceed most user's requirements. That's because Intel has made considerable advances recently in the graphics performance of their processors.

it has a pcie slot so i dont think it really matters if the memory on a dedicated graphic card is dd2/ddr3 so yes you can

There should be a switch on the card. Change its position and you should be good to go.

You can't change that. It has to think it's a CD/DVD or it will not work. You need to design your cards so that the upper edges (about 1/8") of the card are blank. If you cannot picture that, lay the cards in the tray and then center a dvd over the tray & you will see the printable area.

If you mean the screen background. Yes, you can change it. Actually you can connect a USB drive and transfer images.
