Improve gaming on my (crappy) PC

[Ryan Ryan]

Hi, i have an Acer 1920x1080 computer and my games run nowhere near close to decent. I don't know much about CPU's and graphics card so i'm just needing some tips as to what I can do... maybe purchase an affordable graphics card? My processor is AMD Athlon II X2 250 (3.00GHz)... PLEASE help me

Are you currently using only the integrated graphics?

We'll need the full system specs including motherboard model (Should be printed on the motherboard), case model or computer model number and power supply model number (Should be labeled on the power supply. You may need to remove the four screws holding the PSU to the case and turn it to see the specifications label.).


Or is this a laptop? It's listed under laptop technical support but your post would indicate a desktop computer.

Your CPU is a rather old dual core, think introduced back about mid 2009, so not very strong, you could prob get a better GPU, but performance will prob still lag with any newer games

It's a computer sorry; and the model is an Acer Aspire Z3101... "Rating: 100-127/220-240Vac, 6/3A, 60/50Hz" ?

How can i improve the performance then? Would I need a better graphics card? Currently have something called a GeForce 9200
