Is the Acer Aspire TC-220 any good for gaming with improvements because I thought the specs were good but when I play games its worse off than my old computer with was an Acer Aspire X1920 with an better power supply and a Sapphire HD 6670 2GB DDR3. But I cannot understand why the fps is so low even for games like Batman Arkham City? Thanks.

Also this is the link of the TC-220

This is strange as I am running the same computer as you have but I am not running windows as I am sick of Microsoft and I only have Windows 8.1 on my Nokia Lumia 520 my OS of choice is Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon (Qiana) 64bit and I don't have a problem with it except a strange little problem when the computer would flip flop between the LAN and WLAN but I have since sorted that and now I don't have any problems except when I tried to load a file libRTC.so into a program so that I could read the date and time it would not let me but I will just have to accept that., just thinking if you want to run games like you mentioned then download and install Valves STEAM for UBUNTU and you will have access to many of Valves games like Porthole and a lot of other great games.

That is strange. Where did you purchase yours from? And what's the best game it can run? Because I was just thinking of changing out the power supply and graphics card but now not sure.

This may seem a tad weird but i have the same system and i did some research and found out that the cpu is an apu and is much better of on its own . The APU has integrated r7 graphics whereas the graphics card has r5. I played tomb raider 2013 at 720p low settings with about 20-30 fps and when i took out the junk of a graphics card and played again it was getting the same fps at 1080p medium settings a great improvement but obviously not enough to play modern day titles like battlefront or just cause 3 but a great starting point.

I have the same pc acer aspire tc 220 amd A10-7800 with integrated R7 graphics, windows 10. All i did was installed a new psu and a zotac geforce gtx 950 2gb gpu and it runs every game i have tried so far with no lags.
