HRISHI7276,
Thank you for posting, I wish that i have better news for you. The 5558 is similar to a good many Dell notebooks in which the discreet GPU is soldered on the system board. Unfortunately there are no means to upgrade the GPU.

There is no video card in any of these systems. They are available with either Intel-only or Intel-nVidia hybrid video. Either way, the GPU is a chip soldered to the mainboard -- it is not possible to upgrade the GPU. There is no way to remove the chip or install a video card.
