Need a new graphics card? Complain about it on a forum about legos!

I new the decency of this thread would go sour in a handful of post later :c
And I wouldn't say this is complaining, more along the line of advice.
Which you aren't contributing to.

Then again, you're probably just being sarcastic :/

I can just type up all the information that the DirectX Diagnostic Tool thing gives me if that helps.

it's really easy to put a new one in though, you just take out your old one and plug the new one in, then plug in the power.

Oh, that's good news.

Before we continue, we need to find out what type of connectings you have, do u have PCI, PCI Express, PCI X 2.0, etc

After you got that, depending on what you have we can go to the next step: memory size. Untill then, find out the connection typeP

Christ, I'm a dumbass.

Yeah, well

A lot of newer games that I get on Steam are kinda... draggy (specially TDU2, I can't even drive without a delay on turning...) and the graphics are horrendous. Any game I play has to be on set on the lowest graphic setting to make it playable, which makes the game less "fun" (in my opinion of course). I think a new graphic card will do the trick, but the problem is that I'm not very "techy". I'm not sure which graphic card I should buy, or even how to really pop one in to my computer.

Anyone have any idea on what kind of graphic card I should buy, or even outside knowledge I show know on this subject? It would be much appreciated, thanks.
