Guest Eamon.Mc Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 You need to get a bigger grahics card fitted. £50 upwards depends on how much gamming your lad wants to do and how much ya want to spend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Before you fork out for a graphic card, there should be a little box that comes up before you start the game, with all the display settings in it. Not all games do this mind, but if one comes up, set them all to the minimum settings. Another thing you might have to do, is update the driver for the video card. Each manufacturer brings out an updated driver every 12 months or so. The driver is basically a program that tells your video card what to do. Do you know if your computer has a separate video card, or a built in one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
