I'd like to pair a solid AMD Graphics Card with an Intel Core i7-2670QM Processor. I use the laptop mainly for AutoCAD and Google SketchUp Pro. Any suggestions?
Laptop Specs: Dell XPS L502X; 2.20 GHz; 8GB RAM; 1TB HDD

Internal removable/upgradable laptop gpus are rare and yours doesn't have one. It's uncommon for people to upgrade laptops, even ssds and ram which is usually all that can be done, and does not happen all the time. If you mean to do an egpu setup, you do have easy access to the mpcie slot the wifi card is using. You should be aware of the downsides of such a setup and could go with any gpu you want because of the bottleneck.

I understand laptops are configured with graphics cards. However, people customize both PCs and laptops all the time to suit their needs. Since I'm thinking of doing the same, I'd like some input as to which AMD graphics card would work best with the laptop specs I outlined earlier. If it's not recommended to customize the laptop, I'd like to know as well.
