Is my Graphics card integrated or dedicated?

[beachbum111111]

I was thinking of upgrading my graphics card but I don't know if its integrated or dedicated. I looked in dxdiag but it doesn't really say


So I opened my computer up (its a laptop BTW) and I can't find were the GPU would be





If someone knows can you please tell me? I don't know a lot about hardware when it comes to computers

How can you tell?

1. Laptop
2. A dedicated HD 5650 is like the size of a toddlers forearm

What? No, this is not integrated, I used to have a laptop with an HD5650
You wont be able to change it out though, but it's not integrated.

this, you can build a computer for the price of that

It says its 30 bucks for 1 of them

that's only the adapter ..

or "expansion chassis" if you will. it holds the actual GPU.



the $30 one is also the lowest end.
if you want a GPU worth a damn you'll have to pay upwards of $100 - just for the thing that holds it.

How much is a Graphics card thats better then my 5650? I can only run saints row the third on ultra at 12 FPS and blockland with max'd out shaders and everything at 17 FPS. Also is there a way to make my graphics card faster like over-clocking or something?
