    What kind of dedicated gpu upgrade is good with Acer amd a6-3420M?

    This integrated gpu is very good compare to other integrated gpu.

    Is there option to use it and another deciated into the laptop so both can work together, rather using only the gpu, just like a dual graphy card in desktop?

    What are the options for around $100?

    Acer, like many OEMs, have soldered GPUs, so you won't be able to add an aftermarket one inside the laptop whatsoever.

    The best alternative would be to build your own DIY ViDock, assuming your Acer has an ExpressCard slot.
