What can I do about the graphics of my laptop

Omkarjtg · Mar 11, 2015

Hey guys, I'm a newbie or say a noob in this field. I've a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E330, core i3, Intel HD 3000, 4gb RAM.
My problem is that the graphics are so weak that I can't play most of the games! ;((
While I know I should've thought this before buying and the price is too low for what I've been asking, but it's too late. I don't have money for building a new gaming PC.
So my question is can I upgrade my graphics of my laptop? If not dedicated, I'm okay with Intel HD 4xxx-5xxx. And I've read about StarTech USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card, is it any helpful for my situation?

i understand your situation, but its not possible to upgrade the internal graphics even intel HD graphics is also. and
StarTech USB 3.0 is mostly useful for you to connect multiple monitor to single graphics card. or a one USB 3.0 to a multiple HDMI monitor.

Okay, I guess I've to build a rig now, IS this a nice GPU for gaming? Can it play most games on low-mid settings? "ASUS GT 630 2 GB DDR3"

You can choose GT 730. its the latest version of 630. it also has as GDDR5.
it will sure play all games at sure mid settings. some extreme graphics games at low.

Extreme games like crysis 3?
Also isn't 1gb RAM of 730 supposed to be inferior to 630's 2gb?

rkumaran · Mar 11, 2015

2GB and 1GB you wont find any difference. If you are not playing in very high resolutions. or a dual monitor setup.
what is your monitor resolution?
Sure you can play crysis 3.

Okay, my monitor resolution is 1366x768 and maybe in the near future I'm planning to buy a 1080p display...
Is my configuration decent and efficient price-wise?

rkumaran · Mar 12, 2015

no problem. 1GB VRAM works fine even for 1080p.
yes.your configuration is very good for the price.

im not sure how low you want to run your settings but 1gb of vram is going to be a significant hindrance in 1080p

Well I'm okay with low-med settings, and I don't know when am ever I going to get a 1080p display ever!
