I'm pretty dumb when it comes to PC gaming, but I got this laptop about a year ago from a friend:

Acer Nitro 5, 15.6" Full HD IPS 144Hz Display, 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11400H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050Ti Laptop GPU, 16GB DDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home, AN515-57-5700

I'm wondering if it's worth just upgrading the graphics card on this laptop or going out and buying a whole new gaming laptop? How hard is it to install? Would it be worth upgrading to the 3070 or 3080?

Laptop graphics cards are generally integrated and can't be upgraded.

Gotcha. Bummer then but I suppose I'll look into BF laptop deals.
