New graphics card on laptop?
sumpsychochic:
Yeah, I'm learning that it is alot of research.
I have a brand new battery, but not sure if it is strong enough or not, I'll have to look further into that.
I ran dxdiag to get system specs, but I have no idea how to read or understand some of the things to figure out what kind of graphics cards would be compatible with it.lol.

:lol: No, it sounds like you're making it a little hard on yourself. You don't have to look at your DirectX Diagnostics Tool, just look in the "System" section like I mentioned above at what type of laptop model you have, and literally Google "compatible video cards for (insert laptop brand and model type)"... (i.e. Dell, HP, Gateway, Intel, etc.). You should get a number of results depending on the type of laptop you have, and a few possible answers on each of the different sites that come up.
That is, unless your laptop custom-built. If that's the case, not sure how to check up on that. :dontknow:
And now that I think about it, do you know if your graphics card is integrated or not? I know most Intel chips are... if that's the case, then you may or may not be able to upgrade at all. Guess it also depends on what model of laptop you own, too, so I could be off. :?

Or, you could go to wherever/whomever you bought your laptop and ask if it's possible to upgrade the graphics card. Laptops tend to be fussy and a bit difficult to upgrade.
