Can I install a new graphics card on my all-in-one desktop?

_Jonathan_ · Aug 22, 2015

So I just bought an AIO desktop not too long ago. It's a Gateway ZX4931, and it has been working great. It's got a great processor for me but the ram isn't very good, I am planning on upgrading it later. But I was wondering if there was a way that I could install a new graphics card. It only has 64mb of dedicated vram. And it's not very good when I want to play games. I have a laptop with 512mb of vram but I like the faster processor and bigger resolution of my desktop. So can I buy some small graphics card that may fit in my computer? I think some should fit. It can fit the stock fan for my cpu in there so I think it might fit a graphics card by height. Where could I find a compatible gpu? And would I have to buy a new psu too? Thank you for the help in advance.

if you wanted to change anything in the PC then you would have to make sure that it fits the exact specs as are required for the PC in regards to form factor first and then if it compatible with the gateway parts as well. Best way to see if by calling gateway to see if they offer an upgrade for anything for that machine.

I don't think gateway offers graphics cards. They only sell laptops and desktops etc. Would an nvidia or amd or pny type of gpu be compatible with my motherboard?

You would have to see how they have setup the PC overall. If you can fit the card into the housing of the AIO then you can check to whether or not you have to use a PCIE slot to attach it or if you have to use a riser cable to interconnect the GPU and the PCIE slot
