Won't be able to do tonight but more than likely Wed night. I'll be rusty and call dibs on Zoey if it's classic maps.

brehs so i bought me game stop xbox style controller to play some games on my laptop ( i have bought a bunch of games the past few month from steam but never played none) , so i bought this control with that objective, my laptop is not a gaming laptop but the specs on i thought would be decent enough to run a game on low settings or something but :sadcam:, each of the games i own i checked out the setting on a website to test if i can run it and:

video Card
Minimum: DirectX 9.0c Compatible 3D accelerated 128 MB Video card with Pixel Shader 3.0 or equivalent (NVIDIA GeForce 6600+ / ATI Radeon X1300+)
You Have: Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000


I meet all other requirements to run the games, so my question is this, can i take my laptop to a computer shop and have them upgrade the video card also, how much would that cost me?

This is the laptop i have , only difference i have the 1 TB harddirve

Or should I just wait and gett steambox
intel HD 3000 = FAIL

just set a budget for a custom built desktop or a steambox and go from there man. Leave the idea of gaming on a laptop alone. Not only can your laptop NOT do it, but even if you did plan to buy a tricked out MSI gaming laptop...its not worth it.

Leave the console world behind, the xbox one and ps4 are :flabbynsick: at launch...and the gen just started
