Can i add a dedicated graphics card to my ultrabook?

Daniel_119 · Jan 2, 2016

i got a hp envy x360 m6 15,6 inch laptop with 8GB of ram and an intel core i5 5200u, and i know this kind of questions get really old , but is it possible for me to buy and install a dedicated graphics card on it?

Technically, yes. But, in this case, no. If your laptop has an extra free pcie x16 bandwidth slot, then yes. But, external enclosures for gpus are only made for Macs. Also, it would be hard to transfer pcie x16 bandwidth through USB.

Yes it is possible for a graphics card to run at x4 or even x1 but the GPU won't be using its "full power".

and which graphics card do you think i can fit into my laptop? or well which one would you recommend?

The bandwidth transfer is only currently supported with Thunderbolt 3 on Macs. So no graphics card would work with Windows laptops.
