Actually, I have an E330. Installed 10GB RAM, SSD. Everything is fine for coding, but... the video card is rather weak. Some plugins for after effects do not work. Hence the question to the connoisseurs: is it possible to upgrade the video? If yes, how and for what?
Thank you.

Your model does not require replacement of the video card.
Even if your configuration has a discrete card, it is soldered on the motherboard.
The only thing you can try to do is to replace the processor, if you can find a replacement at all. Judging by the manual (p. 75), it is not soldered, but is installed in the socket. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a supported model with the best integrated chip.
But my opinion - it's not worth it.

If you don’t carry a laptop, then you can try to buy a mini pci-e to pci-e adapter from Ali and pick up an external video card.
