    They arent usually sold separately.
    If you already have a dedicated graphics card you may be able to source a compatible upgrade from ebay or similar.
    If you dont have a dedicated card then you have no chance.

    laptops have very limited upgrade paths, for serious upgrading you want a PC Desktop

    Unless you're looking to replace a broken card, don't bother looking. And if you're replacing a broken card, get the correct part number as per manufacturer. I.e. a Geforce 8800m GTS from HP will unlikely be compatible with non-HP laptops.
    I believe there is a rare case with an older Acer model which accepted an upgrade from Geforce 8xxx to 9xxx, but there are very few models that are capable of this
