Sorry, no. Only an external card might be possible by using its wifi socket. Jack E/NJ

An external card must use your wifi socket.. So you will lose wireless connectivity.

Google search the keywords 'eGPU' 'diy' for various ways to adapt an external graphics adapter found in desktops to work with a laptop. Kits are available from various sources like at this link. You need a free PCIe socket that has the bandwidth (at least two lanes) to make it worthwhile which is usually the wifi card socket. It is a very clumsy arrangement especially if you also intend to use a USB wifi adapter with attached antenna required. It would defeat the mobility purpose of a laptop. Furthermore, there are no guarantees the eGPU will perform much better than the integrated GPU that's already in there now. If it was mine, I wouldn't do it.
