The reason is that unlike desktop computers, where you can easily swap out the components, a laptop's graphics cards are typically soldered onto the motherboard, making them irreplaceable.   Generally, getting a graphics card in a laptop comes in two forms: an iGPU on your CPU-die or a discrete GPU separate from your CPU. iGPUs directly share RAM and other resources with the processor. In contrast, discrete GPUs have a memory called "VRAM" and are more independent in using power and resources than their iGPU counterparts.  Even though discrete laptop graphics like Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 have their own VRAM, you will not be able to replace the power profile, as the GPU chip is directly fixed on your laptop's motherboard before it ever leaves the factory and comes in your hand.   Have you ever removed the bottom chassis of your MSI laptop?
