I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to anything computers/laptops, so please reply like I am stupid. Also, since this is mainly to run Blockland better and faster, I put this in the Help section. Since all I do on this particular laptop is play Blockland and do other miscellaneous stuff on the internet, what would be the best graphics card (for a decent price) I can get? Details about my laptop: >It's a Toshiba >It says "Intel Core i3" on a little sticker below the keyboard (if that's important) >Windows 7 >Satellite C655 model thingy >Processor is "Intel(R) Core i3-2330M" (if that's important) I guess my price range would be around 75-150$. So, what would you suggest I use? Also, I have no idea how to install a graphics card or the best place to get one. I'd much rather go somewhere and buy a graphics card than get on over the internet. Either way, is there a place I can go to have someone install it for me? Should I just go to Best Buy and show them my computer so they can get the best graphics card for what I want and that is in my price range? Please help. |

No-edit: I also want to be able to run shaders on at least medium or high without any lag. With my current graphics card, I can't run shaders at all. I also have to put my "Max Draw Distance" at 50-150 depending on the server. I want to be able to look at more than 5k bricks without lagging, which I currently can't do. It would be great if I were to be able to play at servers with more than 30k bricks and not lag. Sometimes I have all my settings at medium/low in Graphics, all the check boxes in Advanced unchecked, and max draw distance at 50 and I still lag when I play at certain servers. |

Silly, you can't buy a graphics card and just put it in a laptop like you can with a desktop. |

Would I have to get a new laptop all together? And I thought you could put a new graphics card in by taking out the original (unscrewing and disassembling the bottom of the laptop) and then putting in the new one. |

Not with the model of laptop that you have. There is no slot to put it in let alone enough space in the laptop case. Your 'graphics card' that you have is an intel integrated 'card' which is inside the processor (the i3). |
