Hello everyone
I would like to change my Nvidia GT 610 graphics card to improve my gaming performance
and upgrade to a GTX series 6.
But I don't know if my PC can accommodate it because the official site does not mention
if we can install higher-end models.
Link to the site with my computer:
http://shop.lenovo.com/fr/fr/laptops/ideapad/u-series/u410/#caractéristiques
My configuration
Lenovo ideaPad U410
Intel Core i5 i5-3317U 3rd generation processor 1.8 GHZ
Nvidia GT 610 that I would like to replace
Intel 4000 HD integrated in the processor
Thank you for your responses and have a nice day

In most cases, the GPUs of laptops cannot be replaced. They are soldered to the motherboard.

Hi!
Bad news, I really doubt we can change the graphics card in your PC.
To summarize, in order to change a graphics card in a laptop, your PC must have an MXM format graphics card. These cards are expensive and mainly available in high-end models (like Alienware, for example). In more mainstream PCs, the graphics cards are soldered directly to the motherboard, making them impossible to change.
Moreover, your cooling system will not be suitable for handling the heat discharge that will come with installing a much more powerful graphics card.

Please.
For the processor, it might also be complicated, especially since the price is so high. Especially since an i5 is more than sufficient for most uses (yours too, I think).
RAM is easily upgradable, but you really have to push it to use more than 4GB. At most 6GB.
As for the fan, I've never seen anyone do it; we'll see, but the temperatures won't drop significantly.
