i recently got a Lenovo Ideapad 310, i tried playing world of warcraft but it tells me to check if my graphic card driver is up to date ( which it is ) and when i run the DirectX diagnostic all the graphic card panel is empty .
Ps: i'm using windows 7 .

My reading says that some ideapad 310 uses intel HD graphics and some have nvidia graphics.

What is your exact model number?
The driver will come from Intel for HD graphics.
Possibly Lenovo has a graphics driver available, but I think the latest Intel driver is likely to be best.

For performance, look at the intel dashboard and see if you can allocate more ram to be used by the graphics adapter.

Also, integrated adapters run faster when using dual channel ram.
Consider upgrading your laptop with 4gb more.
The Kingston ram selection app will give you some supported ram upgrade options:
