So when i play minecraft i have to play with the fog on short and the graphics on fast. Also when ever i try to record minecraft the videos look very bad no mater what type of recording software i use. So if any can record good and play with the fog on far could you tell me what type of graphics card you use. The type i have is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Chipset Family. I run windows 7 on a Dell inspiron with a 4gb ram and my processor is a Pentium Dual-core with a 32-bit Operating system. So if anyone knows of a good graphics card that would work on my computer please let me know.
I've got a GTX460 (although, I've overclocked mine a bit), and it's damn awesome.
100-300 FPS on minecraft, and that's with my computer in the state it's in right now.
(Also, RAM plays a pretty big part in it for Minecraft.)
Just for reference, my specs are WI7, 4gb DDR3 RAM, GTX460 768mb and a quad-core Athlon II 2.8ghz
Planning on switching out to an i7 960 and the Corsair 6gb dominator RAM soon. :biggrin.gif:
Yeah okay that's an issue, laptops don't use a traditional video card like a desktop does. Usually it's also hard if not impossible to actually open the laptop and change the card out(they use what are more like chips then actual cards) so you may be outta luck on upgrading.
The fact it says 'mobile' means it's a laptop.
In general the same applies to the CPU in that it is extremely difficult to access the innards of the laptop to change it out, prebuilt companies like dell and such tend to seal them.
I have taken the laptop apart to replace the harddrive so i know how to replace anything in the comp
Regardless you still need a mobile card, and not all laptops will support them, i could give a little look online if you have the model number of the laptop.
Its a Dell inspiron 00426-OEM-8992662-00400
Hope this helps
thanks
I meant the model of inspiron, i think that's your Windows serial or something.
Inspiron is a line of notebooks, you have a specific one like 14R or Duo or something.
http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-laptops If it doesn't have any distinguishing number on it you can look for it there, i just need to see what specs the laptop model has.
Yeah i'm pretty sure you can't do it, i don't work with laptops much but from what i can tell that model only has an integrated card without any sort of MXM slot or anything. Even if it did have the slot i honestly wouldn't recommend it, most mobile equivalents of a regular video card are 2-3x the price, 300 dollars+.
Thanks.
or gtx 460
both work well but 460 is better although a tad bit more expensive. the lowest i have found it is $160
450 is $130
i suggest 460. you will have high frames per second than 450 and be able to record well to.
there are better models made by this company but not really needed is your just playing minecraft
in fact these are classified as gaming video cards
Thanks.
Have fun changing the motherboard.
Also @OP are you on a laptop?
