Would I be able to change my graphics card?

So I'm currently using a laptop (Acer) with a dedicated video card which is Nvidia GT 630m. I'd like to know if it's possible for me to switch it with a Nvidia GTX 660 Ti.

When you hear about somebody upgrading their video card they're talking about a desktop computer.

A GTX 660M would definitely work on your Acer laptop. I don't see why not.

It's rare that the GPU is on an expansion slot.

If you want a 660, you need to get a GTX 660M, for laptops and notebooks. You can't use a desktop graphics card in a laptop.
