All processors, sound chips, and graphics processors are hard soldered to the motherboard. IF you don't care to ever use this laptop again, you can try soldering on a new graphic chip. Forget any warranty, you will have to completely disassemble the laptop, removing the monitor and entire case to access the motherboard. If you have the confidence to put the hardware back together, you still have to deal with software support.
I hope this explanation dissuades you from even trying this.
It is always cheaper to buy a new laptop rather than trying to upgrade an old one. If games are that important, upgrading a desktop is far cheaper and much more effective. If you get a new laptop, choose wisely. you will be stuck with whatever you buy in the new laptop until your next upgrade.

Unfortunately, you're stuck. With notebooks, the graphics adapter is built-in so you can't buy a new one a year or two later... Even the models which have different graphics options can only be changed at the factory by the manufacturer.

There is no upgrade path for that laptop, sorry, for the graphics processor.
