Can you replace a graphics chip with a graphics card?

In: Computer Hardware, Graphics Cards [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you mean you want to use a graphic card and not your onboard graphics , then yes.

But you don't touch the chip, when you install a card into the slot, and remove your onboard graphic drivers, then install your card drivers, then you will be using the card.

Most cards will tell you how to install the card and when to uninstall drivers and when to install them.

Almost all motherboards have a slot that can run a graphics card. Just make sure
its better than your onboard or you will be wasting your time.
