    Hi guys, is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on the Aspire 5920, on some new games its a bit laggy, if that makes sense.

    The current graphics card is Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset with Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, I think this is it.

    Thanks for all responses in advance!

    AS5920G model have MXM2 VGA card ,so you can upgrade it. However I think Acer removed MXM slot from onboard VGA version 5920. So frist make sure you have MXM slot

    I'm afraid your laptop is not upgradable, the intel x3100 is integrated graphics which means it is soldered to the motherboard, so it is impossible to upgrade.
