Can't play newer games or what?

swift172009 · Jan 17, 2014

Just bought a brand new computer almost $700 dollars. A Dell Inspiron 15R Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz. Video Card Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Manufacturer Intel
Chipset Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Dedicated Memory 32 MB
Total Memory 1.8 GB.
Memory 6.1 GB

Operating System Microsoft Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit
Drive
Size 452.4 GB
Free 405.2 GB.
I heard the Dedicated Memory is low anyway I could make it go higher and if not could I replace the video card? I would like to play games like Diablo 3 and Battlefield 4 but I don't know if that's possible with that low of Dedicated Memory since systemrequirementlab said so.

Oh yeah. You need a GPU. BF4 and Diablo 3 will run like silde shows on the integrated GPU. I believe the one in the i5 4200 is either a HD4600 or some other HD 4000 intel graphic chip and that's just not sufficient to run newer games, or even games from the past generation.

You do not have a dedicated video card in your system. For 700$ you could have built a lot better PC. Anyways, nothing can be done now. You cannot add a separate graphic card to it.

Just gear up with a decent gpu like 560 ti or something around 13k and u will be able to play the mentioned games ..remember performance will be. Better than Intel HD graphics but will not be as better as 50 fps on 1080 p so just search battle field 4 specifications on google an open the link that refers to game debate site and there enter ur c.p.u details along with 560ti gpu or any other in ur budget ..and ram ...and u will get the most reliabe ans on how ur p.c. Will run battlefield 4 ..on low,or medium or high ..go on buddy
