hello everyone,
i have intel i5 3470 with 4 gb ram and i have installed nvidia 210 graphics on my desktop.Although my computer runs every games very laggy and takes fps about 10-12 only why????? anybody can u help plz!!
 
the games you play must need much more graphical power then Integrated graphics and the 210!

Just because you have an i5, you can't rely on that to get good FPS when in games it goes GPU>CPU>RAM, GOU is the most important part, if you have a good GPU and weak GPU, your going to get lag no matter what.
 
Like everyone else has said, the GT 210 is old, weak and can't handle games (unless they're old or graphically-simple ones). Having a good processor doesn't guarantee good performance, you need a balance of components that work well together. Imagine a racing car that's been fitted with bicycle wheels and you get the idea.

There could be a hundred reasons why your friend's games work. Without knowing the spec of his computer and what games he's playing, no-one will be able to give you a definitive answer.

If you lower the in-game resolution and turn off all the advanced graphical settings, that will help performance, but not necessarily eliminate lag. What you really need to do is upgrade the GT 210 and get another 4GB RAM, making 8GB in total.
 


may play on different settings and may also have lower resolutions.

Both the 210 and IGPU's are terrible, you won't get satisfactory gaming experiences with any of those.
