But, the reviews about the Intel HD 4000 i read on the internet were bunk, it SUCKS!

I need to get a dedicated GPU but when I log and try and upgrade is says no available

But there was an option to get a dedicated GPU when building it, but now there isnt.

Can someone please explain?

Is this just a PCspeciallist limitation on upgrades? If so, can someone tell me what GPU's would be compatible so I can get one from another supplier/??


Thanks

Sorry dude l think the GPU is soldered to the motherboard so no upgrade available.

If you bough the system without a GPU, then motherboard will not have one fitted at manufacture, l could be wrong tho.

Regards.

well, if it hasnt been fitted there should be an empty slot no?
