Can you upgrade the video card in a acer aspire ax3400g?

Can I add a video card to this computer desktop? It says it has a pci-e expansion slot but I cannot see it.|||This applies to almost all desktops.



Add? No. Swap out the existing one for a new/better one? Yes.



You'll need to open up your desktop and take out the existing one.|||Yes, it has a pci-e x16 slot, but due to the size of that systems case, it has very limited internal space and can only use a low profile card. Also, because it only has a 220W power supply, it can only use a low power, low profile video card.

The only card that will work in that system is the HD 5450. Don't expect greatness, the HD 5450 is a very low grade card, but any other card will draw too much power and cause your system to crash from being underpowered.



Here's an HD 5450 that includes the low profile mounting bracket that you'll need for that system.
