I am aware that what I'm asking is most likely a no, especially with a totally different card manufacturer. But can I upgrade to another intel card so my kids can play the newest games such as Tomb Raider (daughter's request) or The Witcher 3 (son's request)?

With the current 4000 gpu these games are completely unplayable.

No, you cannot upgrade. The graphics are part of the processor/cpu. It is not a separate or add-on graphics card.

Hello huskerfan,

 

 

Thank you for contacting the Intel community.

 

 

That's correct, the Intel graphics is part of the processor and it cannot be upgraded.

 

 

Regards,

 

 

 

Ivan.
