I have just purchased a new alienware 13 laptop, listed below is everything you should need to know. I was going to buy a dock for this laptop but alienware now offers what is called a graphics amplifier so you are able to connect this to an external monitor and graphics card.
I was curious what graphics card can i get to put into the amplifier that will not be a huge bottleneck on the CPU?
I am not a "hardcore gamer" like i was at one time. I just want something that will work efficiently with the system.
The on-board graphics are Nvidia but the amplifier can take AMD as well so no worries there.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
