be very careful i have a decent laptop about a year old with 4gigs of ram and a 2.4 ghz processor and thought i was good to go for gaming. yeah no.

its graphics card is appalling. it is integrated graphics and it sucks. i play all the recent game son the lowest settings (though touche to it being able to play stw2 with even the lowest settings) and i am afraid to play even the oldest fps. (i can play tf2 actually)

that being said i was wondering if i could even do anything about the graphics card i read they are impossible to upgrade because they are usually soldered to the motherboard. does anyone know anything i could do?

i sort of blame the industry for this they dont have as clear or concise numbers for graphics cards and you often are left wondering what exactly you have. This coming from someone who has built a computer for themself before (i just went with what was exspensive) by comparison processors hard drives, ram capacity and power...... all easy to understand. simply telling me radeon 5500x doesnt really enlighten me too its abilities. saying 2.6 ghz does however.

so any advice for a pissed off man. (i figure since this is about laptops its the best place).
