Will my laptop be able to get a new video card?

My laptop is HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. I am wanting to know if I will be able to connect a graphics card like a Nvidia GeForce GTX-460 in order to play Starcraft II.|||No. You cannot upgrade the video card in a laptop.|||First Problem:



You would not be able to place a full PCI Express card into your laptop in any matter you wish.

The card you are thinking of is the GTX-460M which is the mobile product.



Second Problem:



Mobile products are only sold OEM. So unless you actually own a system like an HP Voodoo Envy M460 Mobile PC... and you need a replacement video card. You can not obtain that particular card.



Third Problem:



If you somehow managed to canive your way to obtain that graphics card, being clever and whitty... You probably haven't considered the actually size differentiation between the chassis that the card was designed to go into versus the chasses of your HP Pavillion.





Recap -

Wrong Card

Mobile Graphics are only sold via OEM (not retail)

Physical geography of graphics cards vary per card.



It would be nice if companies standardized laptop components so that there would be ways to custom build laptops but there isn't yet. Not unless you have the resources and funding to build a model... but that would make you OEM wouldn't it... ;)



Sorry dude, gotta upgrade the entire system... or... build a desktop like I did. Then any piece of hardware you put in is upgradeable to the limitations of the hardware you selected.



Good luck on your searches.
