Hello everyone, recently I wanted to update my desktops graphics card (I have never done it on that Desktop) and when they opened it up and they said they could not add the graphics card because there wasn't anyway to add it in.


I know it sounds crazy but I want to know if its true that some desktops cant change their graphics card.

It would depend on the motherboard and what you already have on it. If you have something taking up your PCI-E slot then you may not be able to

It all depends on the type of motherboard you have, look into to grabbing a different card.

If there's already a discrete GPU in there, it can definitely be upgraded. Who is this "they" that said it couldn't be upgraded?

Also, can we get your actual system specs to help you out? Download Speccy and post a screenshot of that. That screenshot will give us most of the information we need but we also need to know the make and model of your case and PSU, which Speccy doesn't show, so if you could tell us that as well as post the screenshot of Speccy.
