Cannot upgrade Graphics Card?
I have the Samsung QX410 with Nvidia Optimus (The Newer Model) I read online it has 2 Graphics Cards and switches between them and has software built in for it. So I'm guessing I can upgrade the graphics card?

nope, it does not mean you can change the graphics card.
some laptops come with 2 GPU's, one is a low end, low power graphics processor and one more powerful.
when you are doing low intensity tasks the low end card most likely Intel HD 3000 or 4000, which will give you better battery life and produce less heat. when you play games or do something that requires more power it should switch over to the more powerful chip.
you can update the drivers for both graphics chips, but cant change them.
Yes, it does have a graphics card and another gpu: NVIDIA GeForce 310M / Intel HD Graphics - 512 MB. You won't require the Intel HD Graphics since its only meant for low end games and videos. If you were not provided with the drivers disk from samsung, you can install them from here:
