I can play Witcher 3 in highest quality basically most the day. But Rise of Tomb Raider, maxed out... I can only play for a few hours... 

That's fine, I enjoy my PC but I'd like for it to be a little less stressed out. This is the modern age, you can easily modify , boost laptops now. I'd like to either update my graphics card if possible or use an Alien ware Graphics amplifier. If I can't make updates to my laptop... Can I? Then what card should I get for the amplifier? 

I'm happy with my laptop, as far as laptiops go it really does preform well. I have everything maxed out, so there is stress over time , where I can no longer play games in there highest quality without lagging, stressing my PC. 

So I see two options, upgrade periodically or get the alien ware graphics amplifier. Both seem valid to me. I'm told that with an Alien ware Graphics amplifier you increase the life of a laptop and it's upgrades, performance. I'm willing to put in the money for the amplifier. Thanks... I'm also willing to upgrade my laptop if upgrades are possible without buying a new laptop or major internal components. 

I know that PC gaming is an expensive hobby, but as a Graphic Designer, artist... I've realized just how much I love Graphics playing these two games in their maximum settings. I love CGI... I never realized how much before. It's my thing, the thing I spend money on. Yes, it's expensive but it's not like I'm spending 1000s of dollars. The PC cost about 1000, that's the first payment... the rest I'd plan on spending a few 100 here and there, nothing to really break the bank... just something I spend money on... "my thing..."

(1x) Alienware Graphics Amplifier to Notebook Port

What spec this port has? Till new PCI-E4.0 specification comes out with its special cable, every manufacturer has it´s own connector. And your laptop might NOT be compatible at all with the AlienWare Amplifier.

 

I think in general it´s a good idea, as a i7 would not bottleneck and one would have laptop and PC performance at the same time. haven´t tried it out or read any reviews on them though...
