I have an Acer Aspire 5733Z and i need a new graphics card. My current graphics card (intel HD graphics) Is horrible and in order to game i need a new one! Preferably external as i know laptops are very difficult to change the GPU. PLEASE HELP D;

i'm going to assume this is a mainstream notebook as i've yet to see a $2000+ gaming notebook that's more likely to have an MXM slot allowing for an upgradeable GPU, yet comes with an intel iGPU as it's most basic config; you're stuck with it.

however, if your notebook comes with a PCI slot, there's actually a way but it's going to cost you.

Plus the external gpu are not worth the hassle. They are overpriced and they suck. Really, your best bet is to buy your own laptop with discrete GPU(make sure you research the GPU! GT 610m is crap u might as well stay with the intel)
