I have a Lenovo G505s-20255 laptop with AMD A10-5750M APU with AMD Radeon 8650G integrated graphics. Due to my computer's integrated graphics constantly bottlenecking the games I've been playing, I was wondering if it was possible to disconnect the wireless card from its PCIE slot and plug in an external GPU into the slot (external GPU adapter review video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP_8EYQ-2RA).

Thank you for your help!

*Update*
I do not know much about internet cards, and I have just realized the PCI-E slot is occupied by a "Qualcomm Atheros AR8172/8176/8178 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)".

There is also a "Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter".

If I were to unplug the first card from the PCIE slot, would I still be able to access the internet with the second card alone?
