tabish Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hey guys, Currently using an Acer Aspire 5920G, with 4 gigs of ram and a Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz. The RAM and Processor are great, but I'm not impressed at all with the graphics card... So I just wanted to know if upgrading is possible. oh and please do not strike up a conversation saying things like "Why do you think the graphics card is not good", or "Don't upgrade it it's already good enough". Just answer the question or leave. Thanks. :) *love that banana guy* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wook Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 funny.. I don't think you can. only very few laptops have cards that are removable /upgradable. Open up the back and have a look. mine has a card, but its soldered on, so im stuck with the 8600GT too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freesnake Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Whick card are you planning to upgrade? It must be much more powerfule than 8600MGT,or it's insignificancy to this upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Runnin2 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I got the same card in mine... i try to run 2 instance of my game at the same time and it will not do it well: (Vista,Core 2 Duo 1.5ghz, 2GB ram, 256mb on card). However my other computer does much better and it is 4 yrs old: (XP,Pent 4 3.06ghz, 1.37GB ram, Mobility Radeon 9000 (?ram)). I am wondering what my problem is most likely to be: my card, my OS, or my processor? The game is setup to run with Nvidia products, or they have/had their logo on the loading page. Anythoughts?

dasani Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Try to get yourself a more competent CPU first. If that works, you will be all set! Not to mention it's a much less expensive solution. There are tons of up-2-date mobile Intel CPUs on eBay. Apart from that, games might run slightly smoother under WinXP, not by much though. It is hard to find something much more powerful than 8600M GT for upgrade these days. If you do, take a good grasp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
