And according to Can You Run It, I need either a NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS or Radeon HD 2600 Pro to play games I want such as Dragon Age 2 and Rift to their full visual extent, allowing me to play games on high quality settings without experiencing slow gameplay. Basically, I am wondering if there is any way I can update my graphic card to a better one without having to buy a whole new computer?|||- You can upgrade your graphics card but if you want to play games in med. settings or high you should consider :
- Checking out whether your main board supports PC-Ie 2.1 BUS or not.
- Try to find an used card that way you can buy it cheaper.
- Examine your CPU speed and cache otherwise a graphics card cannot help you so much in gaming
And because you haven't provided anymore information about your PC i suggest you :
- Provide at least 2GB of memory before doing anything.
- Find out if you have at least a 400W PSU
And if i were you i used an ATI Radeon HD 4650 . Its good comparing to its low price and good performance and power supply and you'll never have overheating problem and it overclocks perfectly.
Good luck!|||It depends, If you have a laptop it's very difficult to impossible depending on what laptop you have to change your graphics card. However, if you have a desktop it's somewhat easier. If you know someone who can do this for a small fee this would probably be better seeing as how you seem to know little about this. If you don't, it's fine there are some guides I will link you to and make sure you follow ALL the instructions step-by-step or you may damage your computer. You will also need to know if the graphics card will fit your motherboard and that you have enough PSU(power).

If you do know your motherboard and your PSU go to http://www.nvidia.com/content/HelpMeChoose/fx2/HelpMeChoose.asp?lang=en-us to find a good Nvidia which is higher quality than ATI, but if you do want ATI go to http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/help-me-choose/Pages/help-me-choose.aspx . Note that the ATI does not tell you if its compatible so will need to look at each card's specs.
I hope this helps you!|||Buy ATI Radeon 5770|||Being an onboard chipset, no you can't.
