I bought a laptop nearly 7 years ago and it was a great investment. Its key specs are:
Chassis & Display = Vortex Series: 17.3" Glossy Full HD LED Widescreen (1920x1080)
Processor (CPU) = Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-3630QM (2.40GHz) 6MB
Memory (RAM) = 16GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS 1600MHz SODIMM DDR3 (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 670M - 1.5GB DDR5 Video RAM - DirectX® 11
However, I've tried to play the recently released Black Mesa and the graphics look pretty bad with jaggery edges which I presume is the now outdated GPU's fault.
To be honest I probably picked a lower grade card even back then, but its failings are even more pronounced now.
So I was wondering if I can get my GPU updated?
I read online that most GPU in laptops can't be; is this correct?
Failing that; if I were to build a new laptop could I use some of the currently in use components (I'm thinking specifically about the 16GB of RAM)?
Many thanks for your help in advance
