Author Topic: Graphic upgrading help (Read 451 times)

So my sister got into gaming, she plays APB on my computer and minecraft on hers, she plays counter strike and so on, see the thing is she's hogging my computer, when she should be able to play on hers.
but the thing is, her computer is a crappy touchscreen with integrated graphics.
everything is really good (like almost as good as mine) minus the graphics card, she wants to upgrade so bad but how?
is there any way?

Do exactly what I did. Buy a new PSU, a new Full Tower case and a GTX 460.

~$250
You could probably get much better for less now though, as I bought this in january. Plus computer parts are cheaper in america. Much cheaper..

that should do in a pinch, but i suggest investing in some proper swag if you're serious about upgrading

You appear to have forgotten that he said touchscreen.

I'm assuming that you mean one of those all-in-one pcs. In that case there's a slim chance that you can upgrade it. If you know what the model number is it would help alot.

I personally have no idea how a touch screen works.
