1342468 2013-05-21 09:38:00 i know its possible, my model likely has a removable gpu card, where am i to source a replacement? Mirddes (10)
1342469 2013-05-21 10:29:00 A laptop gpu is not normally replaceable. Nick G (16709)
1342470 2013-05-21 11:01:00 Chances are you'll have to get a second hand one. Doubt there are many places that will sell them new. Try ebay. icow (15313)
1342471 2013-05-21 11:03:00 Even if it possible, sourcing the gpu for a laptop will be very expensive for what you get. jonovw (16835)
1342472 2013-05-21 11:14:00 so where are the aftermarket options for those who can?

ive seen reviews so surely i can buy one easily enough.

something with lower heat output is what i need

If heat is an issue I'd be looking at cleaning out dust from the laptop first.

1342474 2013-05-21 12:33:00 Laptop model number? Might help us tell you what will fit in your machine (if at all) and what will work :)

But if it's just a cooler GPU you're after then dust cleaning or modding the origional cooler might be a better monetry spend ;)
