I'm looking in to purchasing a video card for my laptop because it's the only computer I have at school. I'm just looking for something relatively cheap that will be able to play most games on the market today, I don't need to be blown away by ultra clean graphics or anything. What do you guys use/What do you recommend? If you could post links or prices that would be a great help.

Does that even exist? I've always thought laptops and gaming weren't a good combination, but hey, I don't know shit about hardware nowadays. Wait for someone who does (such as Detale or clocker) to reply, they should be able to help.Originally Posted by byrnesc1

What's your laptop model? Only very few models allow for GPU swaps.

You pay for that luxury. I have a Alienware M15x, priced around $3k when it first came out, though I didn't pay that much since Dell replaced my M1530 with it (ohh yea made out like a mug there thank you very much Dell!!Does that even exist? I've always thought laptops and gaming weren't a good combination, but hey, I don't know shit about hardware nowadays. Wait for someone who does (such as Detale or clocker) to reply, they should be able to help.). Thing weighs a ton for a laptop, around 11 pounds, and has a i7 720QM CPU with 6GB RAM and a Nvidia GTM 260 video card in it for all that high end gaming goodness. Anyway not cheap to go for any gaming type laptop.
Hm true I didn't think about that. It's a sony vaio vgn nw228f. I'm looking into it now

Your Sony has integrated (i.e., onboard) graphics, so you can't swap a different "card" into it.Hm true I didn't think about that. It's a sony vaio vgn nw228f. I'm looking into it now
Sorry.
Plus, it's a Sony...so, sorry again.

I've had nothing but good luck and good things to say about this laptop though, especially because I've had less than stellar results from other ones
