    No, there isn't, you'll need either a new laptop or desktop to play the game.

    In almost all cases, graphics cards are not upgradeable, and those that are are very expensive, and still have to meet some requirements for them to be upgraded. So, for you to play the game, you will have to ether play it on a desktop computr, or a notebook that has more graphics power, like HavoK has suggested.
