Hello there,this unit comes either with no GPU, the R9 M380 or R9 M470.I know that last 2 are quite same and require like 45W. But those are from 2015/2016, so quite aged. Since we know power usage/tdp, cooling, connection type and form factor, would there be any newer version, either by AMD or Nvidia? With similar or may more VRAM?Would be great if there is any mobile gpu with less than 45w around from like 2020 or so which can get placed into this beauty, even its bit painful work due chassis design.This is not about gaming, more about video editing and general compatibility.Thanks.
Hi @toddk80 If the PC is a Wave 600-a014, then according to the specifications it has integrated graphics i.e. GPU integrated with CPU, no separate GPU non-removable or otherwise. There are two ways that you may be able to upgrade the GPU. Find a LGA1151 CPU which has better integrated graphics and that will work with the H170 chipsetInsert an external GPU card into one of the two types of M.2 sockets available on the board. (they are the only type of expansion slots on the board) via an adapter (example only) You can also upgrade the memory to 16GB (PC4-17000, DDR4-2133) which should help.
