So its been about 2 years since I bought this pc from acer named TC-603 with these specs: http://gyazo.com/25f1d263cb9e850de1d37e493b85fcfa and It bothers me how I have to really scale down my settings in order to get just about 40 frames in games like bf3 with horrible settings like 800x600 res and ultra low settings and it infuriates me after watching this video where someone with the same card able to play bf4 just fine with an acceptable res and decent frames [Link]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qvGeAR_IzA .
Now I understand that my graphics card is a bit crappy but is that soley the reason why? I've downloaded the latest drivers and it made no difference. I mean surely my ram and cpu can help me out here? Yes I've heard of the term bottlenecking but to be honest I am bit of a pc newbie so I may be missing out on something obvious here.
I'm sure back when bf3 released people would have worse specs than mine and be able to run bf3 just fine. And just to clarify, I am using the utmost low settings you can use in bf3.
What else? Well I doubt there is a build / placement issue of the card as acer has built the pc and I've never opened my pc up before. Oh and one last thing you might need to know is that my graphics card might be a chipset (not sure though) (not sure either if it makes a difference)
Finally, If it is actually my graphics card, what do I need to consider when looking for an upgrade?
thanks a lot for reading and any help would be extremely appreciated!
