Whats decent graphics card should I get?

Attach with your inbuilt graphic card a NVIDIA premium graphic card with memory 1 GB and you would surely be able to play

Okay, well, I'm going to assume you have a "PCI-e (x16)" slot on your motherboard, but that sounds a bit technical, so excuse me if I dumb it down, just wanted to make sure you understand, not trying to patronise! http://quicktiming.org/wp-content/woo_custom/30-pcie.jpg in the picture above you should see the slots, the one we are interested in is labelled PCI-E, its the longest yellow one with a clip on the right hand side. open up your PC to see if you have one of those, got one? great! (if not, sorry, but you need a new motherboard) While your inside your computer, you'll need to see how powerful your power supply (PSU) is, read the sticker on the side of it (it's usually in the top left corner of your case, you plug the wall power cable into it, and it has LOTS of wires coming out of it) you'll want to make sure it's about 450W to 500W, most standard machines ship with 300W/330W, especially if they're from Dell or HP, odds are you'll probably need to upgrade this, oh, and don't spend less that £50 on one of these bad boys, or you run a risk of getting a power spike or other nasty things that could ruin your pc, I mean, you can, it might work, but I'm running quite an expensive PC, and the last thing I want is for my PSU to short out and fry a few hundred quid's worth of components. Okay, so lets assume you have a 500W PSU already, (if not, there are a ton of youtube videos showing you how to install one) you're now ready to look at a card. I saw that your a UK Y!a asker, so you should be using the following sites to look: www.ebuyer.com www.aria.co,uk www.scan.co.uk www.ebay.co.uk www.overclockers.co.uk (I like ebuyer myself) First big question is - Nvidea or ATI (well, it's actually AMD now...) Nvidea are like, the more upmarket gpu's (graphics cards) they are like the pedigree, refined, and even if they are cheap just smooth and nice. (oh, and they have PhysX - youtube it, its for curtains and glass shattering, very pretty indeed) ATI are like, the "bang for your buck" gpus, they run a little hotter but you usually get a bit more grunt out of them for a little less cash (I use these, but I have a processor by the same company, so they work better together - AMD) If you want an Nvidea, may I suggest this: http://www.ebuyer.com/254405-asus-gtx-560ti-directcu-ii-1gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-mini-hdmi-pci-e-engtx560-ti-dcii-2di-1gd5 ###OR### http://www.ebuyer.com/242226-kfa2-gtx-460-ex-oc-edition-1gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-mini-hdmi-60xfh6hs3gxl If you want ATI/AMD, may I suggest this: http://www.ebuyer.com/340795-powercolor-hd-6870-battlefield-3-edition-1gb-gddr5-dual-dvi-dual-mini-ax6870-1gbd5-pp2dhg2 ##OR## http://www.ebuyer.com/319993-powercolor-hd-6850-graphics-card-ax6850-1gbd5-i2dhg I hope this essay helps you :) if you have any issues -- get back to me :D

Like others already said here, YOU CANNOT UPGRADE GRAPHICS ON A LAPTOP! For a desktop computer ONLY: As long as your computer motherboard has a PCI-e x 16 slot and you have (or upgrade to) a big enough power supply any graphics card would work, they are no compatibility issues per say. Having an old or obsolete processor and under 2GB of RAM would create a bottleneck in your system, thus not allowing you the full benefits of a powerful new graphics card. What you should have in mind is how much you can spend for a graphics card (and bigger power supply, most likely) and what are you uses and performance requests that you expect from your computer graphics (gaming - what game and how demanding it is, photo and video editing, etc). For your £150 budget I recommend an nVidia GeForce GTX 460 Fermi ($150 USD - £95 GBP in the USA) or nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti ($240 USD - £151.59 GBP in the USA). They both require at least a good quality (brand name) 500 watts or bigger power supply, so if yours is smaller you would need to upgrade that too, buy an 80plus certified power supply from a good brand like Thermaltake, Enermax, Cooler Master, Antech, OCZ or Corsair. GTX 560 Ti is one of the best graphics card, surpassed only by the very expensive GTX 570 and GTX 580 ($350 to over $700 in the USA) They sell them on amazon.co.uk, look for one there. Here they are, I found them for you: GTX 460 for £120.38: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Palit-NVIDIA-GeForce-Technology-Graphics/dp/B005JRZV58/ref=sr_1_26?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1329652551&sr=1-26 GTX 560 Ti for £159.99: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-GeForce-DirectCU-Graphics-Express/dp/B005G50ERI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1329652238&sr=8-4

Hi here we have certain issues which need to be addressed one if this is a laptop then you can't change the graphics anything. what is installed in this laptop is part of the motherboard as you are stuck with it. now the next issue this lagging thing several issues but the main one is lack of Ram as this what takes the data from the hard drive to the processor and if there is not enough it will be slow period. so upgrade the amount of Ram that is the first thing it will speed everything up. then we have the worst one of all the broadband connection which is what causes most on line issues. so many of the internet service providers have over sold there product that a slow download is the what most have so you only get what you pay for cheap it will be slow only fit for e mail. so now you know an increase in Ram will resolve most issues but not all.
