Lately, the question often arises, whether a laptop or notebook graphics card can be upgraded? The answer is no, because basically the laptops that have on-board VGA does not have an extra VGA slot. But in this era of technology as now all it could be possible.
Village Tronic, a Taiwanese company 'engaged in offering laptop graphics upgrade for a pretty interesting solutions through its products ViDock 2. Hardware that can be categorized as external VGA provides an alternative to the integrated chipset. ViDock 2 itself is claimed to boost 3D graphics performance up to 700%.
This product uses Express Card 2.0 technology-based I / O, PCI Express and USB Release 2.0 to be able to transfer data up to 5Gbps, 2 times faster than ViDock 1. With support for DVI, HDMI and VGU ViDock 2 is capable of producing an image resolution up to 2560 x 1600 or equivalent 30-inch screen.
Imagine the review conducted by Tom's Hardware, ViDock 2 can run games feature rich graphics like Crysis at low settings at a resolution of 1024 x 768 can run at around 26 frames per second, while the integrated chipset is only at 8 frames per second. With the advantages that have been described, we can be sure there is no longer an obstacle to playing games or running 3D applications via laptops.
But unfortunately this product is still very difficult to find and if any price is quite high priced. 2 for 1 Unit ViDock including video card ATI 4670 512MB DDR3 128bit we had to spend around $ 380.
But not to worry if the funds were not sufficient, we were still able to make an external VGA own, of course, with a much lower cost. If you are interested to make, please visit the forum NotebookReview.
