Performance Question


Father Xmas

I have a Compaq Presario SR5510F desktop computer. I was wondering what I could do to upgrade it's performance and possibly run a smoother gameplay. I have turned off my Ultra Settings and turned down my Graphics output all the way. I'm running the game at it's minimum. Here's the specs for my computer from cnet:

Any opinions, suggestions, and ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You appear to be using an integrated graphics card. Those are generally very low on performance. The rest of your computer looks fine.

Buy a PCI Express graphics card. Something in the $100-$200 price range should run well enough to last you a few years without feeling the need to upgrade it.

After you install a new graphics card, you will need to disable your integrated one through the system bios so your computer doesn't try to dedicate resources for both.
