Hi there!

While it isn't possible to upgrade the graphics, you can connect to an external graphics processor (also known as an eGPU). An eGPU can give your Mac additional graphics performance for professional apps, 3D gaming, VR content creation, and more. eGPUs are supported by any Mac with an Intel processor and Thunderbolt 3 ports running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 or later.

To learn more, see Use an external graphics processor with your Mac - Apple Support.
