You can not install a video card in a laptop. That would void its warranty and could severely damage its components.
Usual laptops are not meant to support upgrades (Aside from minor RAM changes).

Sorry about that.

But you can play GTA IV on low - mid settings with HD 4000 while getting decent frame rates.
I am sure of it.

Look in the manual for your laptop. Does it specifically say that you can change the graphics card? And give the procedures to do so?

If it doesn't, then no, you can't

I don't think your laptop is among some kinds that actually permits users to swap out graphics card.

Laptops that are sold to "store brands" are generally not upgradeable with minor exceptions (maybe RAM module can be added). If you want to have a lappie that is upgradeable you need to buy one which is designed that way. The most well known of these is Clevo who was the OEM for Alienware before Dell bought them. Clevi is sold her ein the US through Sager, VoodooPC, FalconNorthwest, WidowPC and other boutique brands as well as direct distributors.

NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 770M 3GB GDDR5 $0.00
