I have a samsung laptop model NP350V5C-T02US -http
/www.samsung.com/us/computer/pcs/NP350V5C-T02US-specs
I'm pretty sure that I fried my video card running dual screens for too long as the hdmi port no longer works and none of my games are able to run at any kind of playable speed. Still able to browse the web and run most programs, some videos run a little choppier with pixelation which I assume is because its being run through the CPU instead of the GPU.
I went into the device manager and disabled the display adapters which said they were malfunctioning due to a hardware error. Upon reinstalling the drivers it says that it is working properly however I still have limited video.
The specifications say that I have an external graphics setup so I am wondering if this means I would be able to buy a new graphics card/chip as the only one I have found online is this which appears to be for a desktop.

So I am wondering if I would be able to use this card, if i need a different graphics chip and I could install it on my motherboard and with or without thermal paste, or if i should talk to the manufacturer, or if there are any other diagnostics I could run to confirm the problem if it might be something I had not considered. Thanks for any help.
