Hi everyone,
I am looking to upgrade the video card in my son’s computer for Christmas, and I want to be sure that it will work in his computer before I buy it. The budget is 60$, and the main concern is not having to upgrade the power supply or motherboard, but to still let games like Skyrim run on lower settings without a ton of lag-if possible. Thanks for any help!
