Is My Graphics Card Bad (2013)?

Jess

I have a Fujitsu laptop that's almost 2 years old. I can't play many online video games that I would like to (such as Tera), and even the ones I can play lag horribly unless I have the graphics on the lowest settings. I want to know If I should give up hope on this laptop and save for a new one, or if I can maybe fix it... With something else? o-o

Added Note: I can run Tera, but it must be on the lowest graphic settings and it still lags a bit with that.

My card is: Intel(r) graphics media accelerator HD
Memory size for the card is 1722MB

Specification is: Intel(R) Core i5 CPU M 480 @ 2.67GHz

Please and thank you ^^

Thomas Edison has a better graphics card than you buddy. Your best bet is saving up for a nice new gaming PC. Go about 600 dollars on it, and I promise you, you can play any game on Low-Med graphics. Newegg.com bro.

Can i run new Games on my PC..?

Mohammad W

Hey...!!
My computer specs are:
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate
Processor : Intel Core 2 duo E6300 ~1.9Ghz
Memory : 2GB
Graphics Card : SAPPHIRE HD 5450 1GB DDR3 PCI.e HDMI

Can anybody tell me will I be able to run new 2013 games like DMC : Devil May Cry, Resident evil 6, Crysis 3 or Tomb Raider on medium to high settings because I don't want to play them with all the effects turned off..??
Also will my PC be able to run upcoming games like Splinter cell Blacklist..??
If not... Do I have to upgrade my CPU or GPU, or overclocking the Graphics card will work...??

Any help will be appreciated.... Thanks in Advance..........!!!!!
Thanks for the Info.... But i wanted to ask will i able to, at least, play those games without lagging..??
Because i am a little short on budget so i can't just upgrade the whole system... What if I just upgrade my GPU..?? & what games I can play on my current PC..??
If any one can tell me I'll be highly thankful....!!!!

Answer
you need an upgrade

intel core 2 quad processor
2 gb ram
gt 440,gt 430,hd 6570,hd 6670,gts 250 (one of this cards)

1.CPU

1.Always choose the latest cpu
2.Choose cpu by its cores
3.Choose cpu by its cache size
4.Choose cpu by its frequency
5.Choose cpu by its benchmark score
6.Choose cpu by comparing
7.When looking at intel core series cpu like i3 dual core remember each core is hyper threaded so it will work as well as amd fx-quad core cpu's...............

(-) means old from 2007-2010
(+) means new from 2011-2013

Intel
Intel Core 2 Quad/(-)
Intel Celeron G1610,G1620/(+)
Intel Pentium 2010,2020,2120/(+)
Intel i3 3220,3225,3240/(+)
Intel i5 2500k,3570k/(+)

AMD
Anthlon 2 x4/(-)
Phenom 2 x4/(-)
APU A10-5800K/(+)
Fx 8350/(+)


2.RAM-MEMORY

DDR2-667
DDR2-800
DDR3-1066
DDR3-1333
DDR3-1600
DDR3-1866

1.Choose memory by its frequency
ex:ddr3 1866mhz is twice better than ddr3 1066mhz

2.Both the motherboard & cpu should support the speed of ram
ex:if you select ddr3 1600mhz both cpu & mobo should support it

3.If you pair a high speed ram with low speed ram the system will run both the rams by lowest frequency
ex:if you put ddr3 1066mhz and ddr3 1600mhz both rams would run at 1066mhz

4.Always remember to do dual channel memory
ex:2x2 ram or 4x2 ram

5.Make sure your ram fits to your mobo standards
ex:pc3-8500,pc3-1066


3.Motherboard

1.Choose a mobo that fits into your case
ex:mATX,ATX,mITX

2.Choose a mobo that supports your cpu socket type
ex:lga 775,lga 1155,am2+,am3,fm2

3.Choose a mobo with higher ram speed support
ex:1600mhz,1866mhz

4.Choose a mobo with more futures
ex:crossfire,sli,pcie 3.0,sata 6gb/s


4.HDD

1.Choose by cache size
ex:64mb cache is 4x better than 16mb cache

2.Choose by rpm
ex:7200rpm is twice better than 5400 rpm

3.Choose by speed
ex:sata 6.0gb/s is twice better than sata 3.0gb/s

4.choose by capacity
ex:1tb is much better than 250gb

5.Graphics card

-There are two main gpu company's nVidia & AMD..........
-AMD cards are cheaper than nVidia
-nVidia cards are expensive but they perform slightly better than AMD
-AMD HD 5450 is worst amd card & Geforce GT 210 is worst nVidia Card
-In GPU 64bit low cards,128 bit mid cards,256bit high end
-Dont compare any cards by its memory or how it looks...

-In AMD cards 1st digit defies the sereies last 3 defies performance....
example:AMD HD 4,5,6,7 series 400+ very low,500+ medium,700+ high,800+ ultra
example:AMD HD 4850 would perform twice better than AMD HD 6450

-In nVidia cards 1st digit specifies the series and last 2 the performance...
example:Geforce GT 2,3,4,5,6 series 10+ low,30+ medium,50+ high
example:Geforce GT 440 would work twice better than Geforce GT 610

-some cards work on 300w example:gt 210,gt 220,gt520,gt610,gt 620,hd 5450,hd 6450,hd 5670
-some cards work on 400w example:hd 6670,gt 440,gt 640
-some cards work on 500w example:hd 7750,gts 450,gtx series.....
