Laptop External Graphics Card

My laptop doesn't have a good enough graphics card to be able to play the games I want.  I heard about external graphics cards. Are there some meant for gaming?

Re: Laptop External Graphics Card

There are external enclosures that allow you to do this but they expensive, slow and do not offer much in the way of gaming.

 

What model is your laptop and do you have a expresscard slot?

 

Expect to spend $200-$500 and the perfomance increase will not be very much at all.

Re: Laptop External Graphics Card

I tried google and yahoo looking for the pci-e external epxresscard enclosures and cannot find them anymore. They might have been discountinued because they were so expensive and never really offered anything powerful enough to make a difference. Good luck finding one and If I run across a link I will post it here.
