Upgrading my Video Card on Macbook Pro

[Jesus162]

Hi there

I have a question concerning my video card on my MacBook Pro mid 2010 i7 17", which is NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB! and its quiet low for me right now so is there a possibility I can upgrade my video card on this particular MacBook Pro? I tried looking for an option to upgrade my RAM and it says that 8 GB on the maximum which I have and other people who know well in computers told me that it's not going to effect my video editing.. Only video card will do the job so is there possibility that I can upgrade my video card or it would be a problem for me to be able to upgrade?

Thanks Alot!

You can't. The graphics card is soldered onto the logic board.

You cant upgrade but you can try to add an eGPU.

Actually, if you have BGA equipment or anyone that would do it for you it is possible to upgrade the GPU.

On the flip side, that doesn't address the GPU memory, pin assignments, power requirements, etc. The GPU subsystem is more than just the physical GPU itself.

Your post would be like telling someone that they could upgrade their C2D to an i7 if they had the equipment. Unfortunately, the rest of the system isn't compatible with the i7.
