As you can see you already have the best GPU for your system.

So even upgrading the system board is not an option.

Best regards,

Welcome to the Dell Community @Amirj123 Yes you can. But as the GPU is discrete, you would need to replace the system board!!! Sorry. Best regards, U2

If the system has a thunderbolt port, it may be an option. However, note that these devices are not standardized -one or another may or may not work, and you will need an external monitor to use one at full speed.

If the system does not have a Thunderbolt port, then an external GPU is not going to be a practical option.
