I have laptop, but I need a better video card. I have heard that this is hard to impossible to have done. I wanted to check if that was the case. I need to know if getting a new video card is completely impossible and if it is possible is it going to cost a lot.

Necessary information needed would be the make and model of your laptop. You might be able to find out the information yourself by doing a search for the make and model.

Most Laptops come with intergrated video cards. If this is the case, your probably going to be spending more money that you want to be spending. Thats why I suggest not getting a laptop for gaming, because the way technology is running, your laptop will be outdated with no room for upgrading or expanding.
