What graphics card does my computer have?
You've got an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator chip, or Intel GMA. Yours is version 950. These GPU chips are always embedded directly into the laptop's motherboard, and thus use a native interface link rather than PCI or PCI Express interface link. These chips cannot be removed, and because this is a laptop we're talking about, a new GPU cannot be installed unless you're extremely skilled at soldering and BIOS manufacturing. Most laptop GPU's are embedded directly into the laptop's motherboard as well and use a memory sideport also separately embedded, which the GMA does not. Hence, you've got to get a new laptop to get a new GPU. This should be all the information you need, and good luck.
