That system has an AMD APU as a processor which has integrated graphics included. The R5-m330 is a discrete card that is being used in conjunction with the APUs graphic capabilities in a process called dual-graphics.

You do not want to try and overclock a laptop as it has very specific power and thermal design limitations.

While the card may use the PCIE3 Bus, there is no PCI-E 3.0 expansion slot. At best, there is an MXM expansion slot for a mobile graphics card, but more than likely, the card is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be updated.

Check to see if the card is slotted or soldered. You may need to take it apart to find out.

i checked GPU-Z and that software says that AMD radeon (TM) R5 m330 is using bus interface PCIe x8 3.0 @x4 3.0 what ever thats mean.
while AMD radeon R6 Graphics is using Bus interface N/A if thats helps
