    I have an HP dv6-6180us with AMD 6770m graphics.
    When playing battlefield 3, I constantly crash with AMD driver has stopped responding. Keep in mind that I am using Leshcat's 12.3 drivers with the HP Fixed Mode patch.

    I read up about it a little bit and noticed that you need a PCIe port, which I don't think I have on my PC. Also, i have absolutely no idea what i'm supposed to do and what i'm going to buy because it's all too complicated for me.

    Currently I have an external monitor that's connected via HDMI at the moment.
    My main concerns are if I can use the 6770m and the new card in conjunction, and how much the total is going to be, considering i'm on a tight budget.

    Thanks!
