I'm tired of my shitty graphics and decided to get a good graphics card for TF2.I want to be able to play on the highest resolution and be able to shoot the ground with my scattergun without lagging.
Any idea which graphic card I should buy?
Max 250$ please.
Right now I lag at the moment I face a dispenser,on the lowest resolution... :(

Wow, recomendations without asking what his motherboard is or what kind of slot he is using. Nice! How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

You probably have a PCI Express slot, but until we know the HP model, we can not be sure. Yeah, just about ANYTHING is better than that Go card. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

That is a laptop. I am not sure you can change the video card out. Typically, laptop hardware is fixed, aside from RAM and hard drive changes. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Every laptop spec I found for that model says it has Geforce 7600 dedicated. Was this a customized laptop? If it has the 6150 GO, it's onboard and most likely cannot be replaced like the other HP laptops. {pDs} Lead Salad: bike why did you change your name
Jessica343: so I can get heals
{pDs} Lead Salad: oh damn good idea
{pDs} Lead Salad has changed their name to {pDs} Lead Salad (is a girl)
Jessica343: hahah

The HP model you mentioned is a Laptop. Bike was trying to get at the fact taht you can't just thrown any of the video card suggestions into that computer. they won't fit. You have to look at Notebook vid cards...and even then some of those goes are onboard so you can't change your shit. Easily anyway.

Ask your doctor about Nvidia's "M" edition laptop cards. Side effects may include joy, happiness, and DirectX 10 Bioshock-induced nausea. Complications may occur if the card doesn't fit. Win Cookies Awarded: 7 (bawwwwww)
