    Hey guys,

    I am looking to upgrade my video card. I currently have a GeForce GT 425M.

    It works fine; I can play Diablo 3 well enough, but I'd like to play it on high (and even Ultra if possible) settings when it's released.

    Can anyone recommend me a video card that would do this for me? I'd appreciate it!

    Thanks!

    Your laptop's video card is integrated into the main board and is not replaceable.

    Really? I thought it had an intel card AND the Nvidia card on it? I can't replace either of them?

    nope, but if there is a express card slot (which I dont think it has), you could put a desktop gpu connected to it
