Upgrade graphics card?

[xystus]

I have a 17" macbook pro. (late 2011) it has a 6770m graphics card, but for games like battlefield 3 (which i run in bootcamp), this doesn't do the trick. is there a way to upgrade the graphics card or maybe have apple do it or somthing?

No, the GPU is not upgradable.

However, you can overclock it via bootcamp

And another reason you should've done some research before buying a laptop period. Just about 99.99% of laptops have only two upgradable parts: the hard drive and RAM, the rest is soldered onto a single board.

Yeah...pretty much this. You have none of my remorse.

Just for future reference via Google search:

"iMacs really aren't designed to be upgradeable beyond upgrading the RAM. If you are looking for an upgradeable Mac you are really referring to a MacPro."

iMacs are not desktops in the sense you're thinking about.

If you really want to upgrade your Mac cheaply, just build your own Mac.
