Graphic Card advice

I really need to know this so i can play swtor more often!

Most likely no. You need a specific type of card which is usually much more expensive than a desktop card. ALso, most laptops are unable to be upgraded unless you send it back to the manufacturer and pay for the priviledge. Even more so with Dell.

would $200 be enough for the specific, more expensive cards?

Youd have to ask dell, because with the vast majority of their desktops and laptops, they can only be upgraded using specific dell parts.

here are my computer subscores:

Processor-5.4

Memory (ram)-5.4

Graphics-4.1

Gaming Graphics-3.4

Primary hard disk-5.5

I have loaded the game before. I can see all the environments and characters, but my character's movements skip. Like I'll move press forward, but the character wont move forward until like two seconds later. I guess that could be described as lag. I never checked the settings, so maybe if I turn them down it will work better. My computer says I need at least a 5.2 for this game, but preferred at 5.9, so all I really need is to boost my graphics and gaming graphics. I'll post another reply when I try the game on low settings.

Post your dxdiag. That gives much more detailed info about your system. Make sure you use the spoiler or code tags when posting.

what's a dxdiag? By the way, I tried it on lower settings and it still lagged. Also, why do I need to put it in the spoiler section? And how?

Hello? Anybody there?
