I have a 3yr old i5 Alienware m11x r2 laptop with 1gb GT 335 card and 4gb RAM and have only recently been doing some serious gaming. It can play Civ 5 ok at high res albeit it's hitting the threshold and the fan is roaring. World of Warplanes is only playable at a rather ugly minimum possible settings and res.
I don't have the inclination to buy an expensive gaming rig (and will be buying a ps4), but wondered if a cheapo desktop off eBay might boost gaming performance enough to be worthwhile. I can pick up £299 ($450) desktop with the 2GB DDR3 6670 card. Processor (amd quad core 3.2ghz) and RAM (8gb) are obviously improved, but I wasn't sure if this gfx card was much better than what I already have in the laptop, not least as the card is over 2yrs old itself now.
If anyone can draw a comparison or otherwise advise I'd appreciate it, cheers.
