    Hi,

    I don't think it's replaceable as it's soldered to the motherboardSmiley Sad

    how do i get crimson version of AMD graphics because im trying to switch from vega 8 to rx560

    You don't, the Crimson version is out of date,  AMD Adrenalin 2020 is the version you need, follow my walkthrough below

    The new AMD Adrenalin 2020 Control Center is designed to give support for your hardware and contains Mobile Driver support for this exact model, the Graphics Drivers on the Acer site are only base drivers. Click the link below to download the 2020 Control Center and the latest drivers for the RX560x will be automatically installed
    https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-2-1

    First make sure you game with your battery charged to 100% BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged into the main AC power while gaming. Make sure "High Performance when on AC", is selected in your Windows Power Plan and in Nitrosense. If you fail to do this your CPU will run at around 50% of capacity and you will experience poor game performance

    Open the New AMD 2020 Control Center and click the GAMING tab then click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and select ADD A GAME, navigate to your games .exe file and double click it to add it, or you can select SCAN FOR GAMES and let the Control Center search your harddrive for games to add. After successfully adding the game click on the game and you will be taken to another window and click the LAUNCH GAME tab.
    Only in this way will your games use the Discrete Rx560x GPU, NEVER launch your game through a desktop shortcut or any other way, do it in the manner I have described.

    Please remember that online gaming may experience low fps and stutter due to the games servers and bottlenecking and that has nothing to do with your GPU.

    You can but, you have to get a completely different Acer Aspire V15 V3-574G with an upgraded GPU (if these models came with an upgraded GPU?) does you V15 V3-574G come with a GeForce 940M? as unsoldering and resoldering a GPU to a GTX card (if you can get one?) and your motherboard can acompany a GTX? Is a big and expensive job for a professional to do or if you can do it then, you have to have all the appropriate tools to this specialised job.
