Your video adapter that’s integrated into the APU has a decent amount of video memory available to it, nearly 2 gb.

See riider’s response 3

I have no idea whether you can upgrade the APU to get a better integrated video adapter along with it.
That’s easy to determine for a desktop computer that is generic and has a retail mboard model, but probably difficult or impossible to determine for your laptop..

Your model has no ExpressCard slot, so you can’t do what is described in the last part of response 2.
