    You want to go and post in these forums: http://forum.desktopreview.com/forumdisplay.php?f=69

    Also, in that forum, take a look at the first sticky - it might help answer your question.

    This forum you are in at the moment deals exclusively with laptops.

    Regards

    Are you talking about a laptop or desktop?

    A laptops Graphics card, you cannot upgrade. Sorry.
    And for a desktop, the above forum link is your best bet. But what is your budget for this card?

    Hi,

    Sorry for the late response.

    I need a graphic card for playing next-gen game on my desktop PC, not laptop/notebook.

    My budget is around US$200.

    Let me explain a little bit descriptive.

    When I try to play the Call Of Duty - World At War on my PC (also Brothers In Arms - Hell's Highway), my screen is appears black.

    The PC specification is:
    Processor: Intel Pentium Dual Core 3.4 GHz
    RAM Memory: 3 GB (3 DIMM) DDR2
    Motherboard: Asus P5LD2
    Graphic Card: ATI Radeon X550, 256 MB
    Hard Disk: 80 GB (unknow RPM speed)
    Monitor: LG Flatron ez T710S, 17 inch

    But when I try to play them on another PC, the games are working good. The PC specification is:

    Processor: Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo, 2.66 GHz
    RAM Memory: 1 GB (unknown DIMM)
    Video Card: Nvidia GeForce 9600GT, 1GB
    Hard DIsk: 240 GB (unknown RPM speed)

    Can someone please tell me what graphic card is best for my above PC?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Fragilexx,

    Thanks for the above link.

    I think you're right that I think I should post this topic to the above forum.

    Also, thanks to ahl395. I will take a survey to the MSI N275GTX graphic card.

    Cheers

    yea that forum is useless.

    With 200 bucks I think you maybe could get a 4870, or 260 with 216cores, not too up to date on my desktop cards.
