Hello, SHF. Over the summer I got a laptop and have slowly been enjoying it more and more, especially when it comes to games.
Just today, I purchased the game Bioshock due to extremely good reviews and thinking it might help me get into shooters. When I started playing, I noticed that it was game-breakingly choppy so I put the graphics down from high to low. It still looks okay, but I wonder what might have been.
I started looking up graphics cards. The one that I looked at the most was the EVGA Geforce 7200 (all the newer ones seem to be for Vista, I have XP Pro). Now, it seemed like this would be the ideal graphics card, however many reviews said that it was not a card intended for gaming.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or better yet, have used this kind of graphics card? Any help is appreciated.
