Can i upgrad the 8600m gs on a acer 5920?

I can't find a post on this. I have a acer 5920g with a 8600m gs and was wondering if I can upgrage the gpu. If so what can I upgrade to? Last but not least where to buy the upgrade?

 

sorry but no.. nearly all gpu cards are soldered into the motherboard.

 

Please read the stickies b4 posting.....

 

ok thanks i was not sure on this model. Oh well it only cost $499 can complain about that

Aspire 5920G have MXM2 type card,so it's not soldered.i think he need to search Acer section for more info

Not to hijack this thread, but that's one thing I believe strongly in, is that notebooks should become more standardized.
That's the only thing that I miss about desktops, is the ability to interchange any component.

 

this is how intel keep making $ for selling new MB.

 

Not possible.

 

actually after looking at info from bigspin it looks quite possible

 

here some more info.

Bigspin might be correct on this but be careful, I mean look at his avatar.

 

Lol......

Actually I have Aspire 5920G.I didn't try to change my card ,but I flash my v-bios to oc & I wrote the guide about v-bios flash . There are lot's of threads available for 5920 mxm upgrade .he need to search Acer section.Avater doesn't tell the whole story of user

 

Yeah, careful, powerpack's right, his avatar might spell trouble...

 

bigspin i have another question since you have this laptop. I tried to use rivatuner to oc my current card but every time i adjust the core and mem it just resets itself. I told rivatuner to startup with the computer with overclock but it wont do that either. Any advice on overclocking my current card?

 

and my card driver is 7.15.11.7474

 

Some driver versions have OC bug,so try 174.xx drivers or 163.xx drivers.

 

I wouldnt overclock your intenal graphics card, cause quite frankly the benefits are outweighed by extra heat, and the cost to you to replace the card.
The 8600GT is on an mxm card, so you can upgrade your graphics card. However, Acer did not make any follow up cards for that MXM slot.
If they do manufacture a ddr3 version of the 8600Gt, than you will probably be able to upgrade your card. Whether or not its worth doing that is up to you.

Your laptop has the ability to be upgraded, but acer has not made any other cards which can be put into that slot.

Your 8600M GS will do fine, it's a decent card when overclocked. If you don't want to overclock it, no worries, it's still an okay card.
