Graphics Card?

jakesmeeton · ‎04-28-2012

Hi, I have been lookin to upgrade my graphics card on my Compaq Presario CQ50 laptop so it will run smoothly on Star Wars: The Old Republic. I am not sure which graphics card will run smoothly with that game that would work with my laptop, its an older model. I am looking for a card that is affordable and can run the game smoothly on low settings. Thanks!

Blunt answer : You can't upgrade it.

Explanation : There's VERY few laptop models that were designed to have their video chipsets upgraded, and even those were quite expensive to do so, and offered little upgrade options.

Not to leave you completely 'empty handed", you can always look at upgrading your RAM, that's a sure, and usually fairly cheap way to give your computer a little "umf".
