Board 8 > Help me out with my new laptop

(+) Yeah! (+)

All the specs are good enough to run whatever I want, but the graphics card suck ass.

Dell - Inspiron Laptop / Intel® Core™ i7 Processor / 17.3" Display / 8GB Memory / 750GB Hard Drive

BUT it has Intel® HD Graphics 3000.


What would be most reasonably priced graphics card I should buy if I wanted to run something like Skyrim on it?

What do you consider reasonably priced? 50? 100? 150?

Whatever would run it comfortably.

I just mean I want a good graphics card that will run anything, not something that's top of the line, really expensive.

sucks man, but this pretty much. If you want to use another graphics card, it may be possible but will be incredibly difficult, you basically have to do surgery on your computer, and this surgery might render your laptop unusable.

It depends on the construction. Everything has to fit, and intel chips means they did not make a spot internally for a graphics card.

You can hook it up externally with an express card adapter and an external power supply. You have to make sure your laptop has these things, but it would surprise me if modern machines didnt
