    Hi,
    you might have seen my previous thread on the keyboard, well,
    this concerns the GPU.

    considering the NVIDIA GT 940M is pretty bad compared to most other
    Graphic proccesors, I was wondering if I could change the GPU without damaging the laptop.
    I was thinking of changing it with a different one. If i could, could you name me a good GPU I could use??

    Thanks.

    You are out of luck, the GPU is soldered to the motherboard.

    ^^That's a weird thing to mention...

    Unfortunately it is not MXM based, and Asus doesn't use standard MXM even if it did. :(
    Fortunately, you should be able to overclock at least...

    Only way you get a different GPU is to replace the laptop. And fork over the cash.
