    Hello and welcome to NBR.

    Yes, you do have a graphics card in your laptop which should either be the nVIDIA 310M , 330M etc.
    But the GPU is soldered on the motherboard therefore not upgradeable.

    Hi ankit702,
    If you have 5745 model, you have integrated graphics, if your model is 5745G, you'll find a dedicated graphics in your laptop.
