Upgrading from Radeon HD 4200

theMikiChi · Apr 24, 2014

Hello, I am not that good with computers so I apologize in advance if I sound super noob. I currently have a Radeon HD 4200 graphic card on my desktop. I was unable to play games like Battlefield 3 and Perfectworld due to the extreme graphic lags. As far as I know, this card is integrated to the motherboard and this card only have 256MB of dedicated video memory. I was wondering if I will be able to add another graphic card in order to have more dedicated video memory so I won't lag in game. Also, what kind of graphic card should I get if my budget is about $50?

Do you know what the model of your computer is? It would be helpful to state it so us.

$50 really isnt going to get you that far anyway, you might want a bigger budget.

My computer is a HP Pavilion p6649c running with Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit

Your power supply is only a 250W, you would need a power supply upgrade to run most graphics cards. Also, $50 is not going to be able to get you very much of an improvement in gaming.

About how much would it cost for decent?

It depends on the power supply you are running, but it MIGHT be able to run a GTX750.

A new power supply like this should do:

You could look into a GT640 (which might also run on the power supply you have).

You could also look into an R7 250 (might run on your current box) or R7 250X (I'd get new power supply for).
