Switching Gpu In laptop

[NinjaMonkey2017]

Im not sure if I'm posting in the right thread but i have a dell inspiron 7567 and was wondering if i could switch out the gpu and or cpu 

[LienusLateTips]

Both soldered

[samcool55]

Nope, that's something you lose when you get a laptop. Even if you could getting the right parts would be almost impossible.

[Light-Yagami]

If the GPU and CPU are soldered on the MB, then no.

[NinjaMonkey2017]

well good thing this isnt what i really game on that much

[jarmenti]

definitely not possible. I have the 7567 and am suprised at how well the 1050ti performs in games actually at 1080p (native panel resolution) most games run at high at 60fps or more, doom on ultra at over 120fps!

you can buy mxm gpu cards and you can replace them in a laptop with a mxm socket and a compatible panel and heatsink

ya but i didn't get the ti vesion cause i didnt have enough money

[jarmenti]

That's the thing with laptops, you can't really skimp on cost and hope to upgrade later as far as cpu and gpu go, The dell 7000 doesn't have a mxm slot. The cpu and gpu are soldered to the board.

[jarmenti]

The only way to upgrade is selling and buying another system

[BloodyWaters]

They are soldered on to the board, which means you can't upgrade them.

check this

 

2012 laptops upgraded with a pascal gpu. yes you need a mxm socket for that

yes 7567 is a totally soldered laptop

The OP's laptop doesn't have a MXM slot!

[NinjaMonkey2017]

well that just sucks its no big deal for me but this is mainly for school and light gaming on the go

far from "suck" lol. The 7000 gaming is like the best performing machine you can get for under 1k! Sure there's better systems, but not at that price point! The next best machine to that is like the acer predator helios 300, and that gets you a 1060 instead of a 1050ti, but several hundred dollars more!

exactly so i get what i paid for but it would be great if i could do more to it than just replace ram and put an ssd in it

Laptops have been like this for a long time lol. Unless you buy 2K plus machines, and even then lots still have soldered gpu's. It's common knowledge when buying a laptop that cpu/gpu aren't usually upgradeable. Even my past laptop , asus g73 had a MXM slot but it was nonstandard form factor and upgrading wasn't possible (in some cases it was but required modifying the heatsync and losing external display ports (hdmi etc).

I know that a 7567 has a good price and that range of laptops are totally soldered and I was not enough clear. Alienware (they are dell gaming laptops)  suck! there are better options like msi GT or clevo Pxx IMO

Asus is the worst example for talking about mxm gpus IMO

check clevo p150em, p170em, p370em, p150sm, p170sm, p377sm, p750dm, p775dm, p570wm or msi gt70, gt72, gt72s or old alienware 17x r4, 17 r1, 17 r5, 18x r2. All these have been upgraded with pascal gpus

[jarmenti]

I'm fully aware those machines are upgradeable, but they are far from the price point that the OP could afford , since he wasn' able splurge the extra hundred or so to get the 1050TI option in the dell. I'm just saying you won't find a "NEW" laptop in the 1k price range with MXM upgradeable graphics, that isn't beefy! and buying a used 2 yr old model, and then buying a pascal mxm card on top of this, still puts the cost up there!

I'm trying to say that upgrades are not impossible but I know that a laptop with a mxm socket costs more than 1000$.
