GeForce GT 220 (Intergrated with 4GB memory(Not happy bout this))
Intel Core i5 (4CPU's) ~2.7GHz
8192MB RAM
Terra byte Hard drive
Windows 7 64 bit.

Can anyone tell me why I can't run some games with good settings? Like in l4d2 the recommended lags a bit (50FPS -> 30FPS)

Your GT220 is definitely the bottleneck here. Everything else is nice.

Kay thanks. I assume cause its integrated or because it's just stuffty?

[Fredulus]

I didn't think the GT220 was an integrated chip but I could be wrong. Either way it's not very good, especially when compared to your CPU. You deserve something nicer lol.

It depends on your computer's current specifications.

What do you have, down to the very details?

109.99 is the best card you can get for so little money. o:
