Is the GPU upgradable?

In a word, yes. Eurocom sells the GTX 980m GPU with the right thermal pads for about $800. You can actually upgrade it yourself if you know what you're doing. If not, call geek squad or someone like that. Hope this helped...

Justin Fowler, Regarding upgrading the Video Card - We would suggest that you try the games you plan to play, and then decide based on whether or not the performance of the existing card is satisfactory for you. If you find that you would like to upgrade the card, the system is quite capable of being upgraded, as only non-proprietary parts are used in its assembly. Also, should you upgrade the video card, you will want to pay attention to the power requirements of the card you choose. You may or may not need to upgrade the power supply as well. Regardless, please note that the proper installation of any component - internal or external - that does not damage the system will *not* void your system warranty.

The graphics cannot be upgraded. It uses the Intel HD graphics built into the CPU.

Yes. Check Nvidia web site and check system spec. but higher power supply wouldn't hurt if you are planning to upgrade again.

Essentially yes, with lower gpu and memmory clock rates but you can easily overclock it with included software.

this units OS is not upgradable. You can call Velocity to verify, look for someone in the after market to make a hack to allow it to upgrade

It already has the latest graphics card (670). I don't think you can change the hardware, but you can upgrade the driver by going to www.nvidia.com Just let the website automatically detect the graphics card and tell you the current driver and if necessary install the latest driver.

Laptops aren't known for being very upgradable or expandable (except for an expansion slot on some or swapping RAM). Replacing a processor is not a simple task, even if you find a compatible one. And even then you're wasting your money (spend it instead on a different laptop). Integrated graphics would be part of the motherboard, not sure if there's an expansion slot for another graphics card but if you want something for gaming, don't get this laptop. Spend your graphics and CPU money towards a higher end laptop.

Yes you can. You can upgrade to a GTX 650 without having to upgrade the power supply brick. You can also upgrade to the GTX 660 but you will need the larger power supply brick which is about $140.00. I have the GTX 645 in my rig and I love it. I'm playing BF4 at 1080P and it looks beautiful.

Yes. I am super happy with this purchase. Just make sure you update all the drivers as soon as you get it. The vid card is a really nice touch for the price point.

No, this is all on board. Gigabyte does make an nvidia version you might consider.

I upgraded graphics card and power supply , however even before doing do it could still run newer games just average specs on graphics unless you upgrade , mainly lacks shadow detail (stock graphics card) but still def worth it

Absolutely. One of the easiest to "Upgrade, by downgrading." All drivers are simple to locate.

The graphics card is soldered to the motherboard. In fact, almost all, if not all, laptops cannot have their CPU or GPU upgraded unless the one doing the upgrade is an expert in computer repair.

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

I can't imagine you really need to upgrade the video card.. it already has a very powerful one installed... Unsure about the memory upgrade question

Not as it stands, you would need to add a decent graphics card for gaming and a more powerful PSU but it has upgradability for this with a PCI express 2.0 port on the motherboard
