GPU upgrade

FallenPhoenixRA · January 9, 2016

Hi I have an hp envy 15-j011dx notebook and I know they aren't the best but I am making due with what I have I am wondering if you can upgrade the GPU. I only get 20 FPS at the max 30 if I am lucky and CPU ID says that I have an Intel HD Graphics 4000. Wondering if I can upgrade this and I know that I can't get a GeForce with the kind of laptop but is their any better GPU?

99.9% of notebooks do not feature upgradable GPUs. Yours is one of them that does not.

Edit: To clarify, HD4000 is built into your processor. You have no gpu.

Its a laptop, you likely can't upgrade anything other than the ram and cpu.

I swear when I opened my computer up the GPU was under a cover and when I opened it up it was sitting there and when I tried to remove it it didn't budge so I left it alone but I think it is separate from the CPU or so I think. And I had already looked at the CPU I know the difference. CPU has a screw that when you turn 180 degrees it pops then you are able to remove it.
