Good luck finding a small form factor card which can fit in the GPU area of your laptop chassis and has performance bonus without sapping too much out of the battery life.

 

Let me know if you find something and where. Cheerio!

Sure thanks

Just a word of warning to pale,

Even if you find a scrap GPU from somewhere,you will have to solder it to the mobo,Laptop GPU's are not modular

its not as easy as swapping the GPU out of a PC :fear:

I am not going to do that :) .. I think have to stick to my plan . Sell it & buy a desktop .

I think I mentioned everything, small form factor card, power consumption, fits in chassis which equates that he needs a PCIe riser.

 

Also I mentioned at the beginning to contact SAMSUNG although very few companies in India (or abroad) allow for upgrading your standard laptop.

You didn't mention the soldering part.

Afaik Alienware and some "custom" laptop manufacturing companies have support for upgrading laptop GPU's

You don't need to solder, PCIe riser is what you need. Like how ultra-thin desktop place their graphic cards in-line to avoid widening the case.

 

Soldering is if you have an ultrabook or if your previous chipset was fused in with the motherboard which means you will have to de-solder it which itself is complicated and prone to frying your components if done wrong.

 

I hope you know the cost of an ALIENWARE 'laptop'.

Nvidia introduces power-efficient, budget priced GTX 750 series in India

http://www.indianvideogamer.com/news/nvidia-introduces-power-efficient-budget-priced-gtx-750-series-in-india/23339

 

 

Two GPUs in this series are available – the GTX 750, which starts at Rs 9,900; and the GTX 750 Ti, which starts at Rs 11,990.

 

These graphics cards are small in size (5.7 inches) and require only 55W of power, and Nvidia claims that they can be installed even in most modest home PCs with 300W power supplies without requiring any other component upgrades.

 

It is an entry-level GPU, so it may not be able to run the most demanding games with all settings set to Ultra, but the 750 Ti should comfortably run the likes of Battlefield 4 and Assassin’s Creed IV at 1080p on High settings.

 

The 750 series is out now and will be offered by various manufacturers in India, including Asus, Zotac, Galaxy, and Palit.
