This is similar to a question that was asked earlier last month-
AS far as I know there are two companies which make external graphic cards for laptops. One is Asus, which makes the XG Station. The other is MSI which designed the Luxium. Both cards have their individual enclosures which have sound & USB connections. Both need individual power supplies and connect to the laptop via the ExpressCard slot.
I'm not sure of the specs on either card so I'd recommend doing some research.

Can you change your graphics card or get an external graphics card for your laptop I have an Acer Aspire 5552g?
More thann 3 quarter laptops cannot have there graphics card changed saddly. However, there are people out there who has a kit which allows you to hook a graphics card to a device and the device to go into your laptop. I would not recommend doing so. Laptops have the graphics chips soldered directly onto the motherboard, to save space. Unfortunately, during fault finding, reference is still made about your 'graphics card', assuming the system is a desk top. Repairs to a laptop graphics system, involves re-flowing the solder on the motherboard. Something which requires expensive equipment beyond the average repair shop.
