    I know its Integrated which means it is built-in, or part of the motherboard. It cannot be removed, but is there any alternative which means not buying a new Labtop?

    No.

    Unless you spent a whole lot more money for a laptop with upgradeable video, the video that you bought is the video that you have for the life of the laptop.

    The D531 is a "...business notebook for the price conscious..."

    Read - low performance video and non-upgradeable.

    Laptops in general are not designed for upgrading. It may be possible, but it really wouldnt be worth the trouble.
