    Hey guys,

    First post here..I was wondering if my laptops graphics card can be updated as it can no longer handle new-age games (Wildstar/WoW) even on LOW settings!

    Specs:

    Samsung RF711
    Intel Core i7 -2630QM CPU @2.00
    RAM - 6GB
    Nvidia Geforce GT 540M

    The GPU is probably soldered on, so there would be no way to upgrade it.
