Help needed regarding new Graphics Cards!

NKohr — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 17:04:07 GMT

Is there a website, process or anything I can do to find out if I can upgrade my graphics card? I play Steam games and Minecraft and ever since I downloaded Steam, Minecraft's performance has dropped dramatically. I'd like to start playing other games as well but, I am afraid my laptop won't be able to handle it. I have been using this batch file to start minecraft: javaw -Xmx4096m -Xms2048m -jar "C:\Users\Noah\Downloads\Minecraft.exe". I don't know if that will help but, I am sure this will... (some of my system specs)

PS: I apologize if this is in the wrong category, although I am pretty sure it is. Also, if anything I posted can reveal information that could be used against me, it would be nice if an administrator were to remove this post and message me.

Hello Kohrt,

It is very important to mention that we as Intel®, provide the hardware to the system manufacturer and they will design the software for their computers.

I am afraid to say that the internal processor components cannot be upgraded due to the design. At the moment, the only possibility to upgrade the Graphics controller in your computer is by changing the processor itself.

Since we provide the hardware to the system manufacturers, they are able to set limitations on their computers so it is very important and necessary for you to contact Samsung so they can provide the processor compatible list for your unit.
