Hello all, I am new to the community (Obviously) and also new to the world of computer building and parts , etc...



I have a decent laptop that can play low quality games just fine, Heck I can play some Medium Quality games just fine, but when I get to the games that I actually want to play really badly (FarCry, Watch Dogs, Metro) I just end up with bad lag or I get that TERRIBLE Blue screen saying that I need to update my drivers in order to play the game. To remedy this I would love to upgrade my Laptops Graphics Card/Video Card. I looked up how to but came up with a couple problems, mainly being i need to figure out what my bus interface is and unfortunately when I try to figure that out I just get a lovely N/A sign! So I decided to rely on the help of others who are smarter then me and that is when I found you guys and now i need some help. Can i upgrade? What card should i use if I can? if I can, Should I upgrade? Here are my specs;



Lenovo G505s Series

Windows 8.1

Model 20255

AMD A10 Quad Core Processor APU 2.5GHz

8Gigs Memory

DirectX 11

AMD Radeon Hd 8650G
 
You are running on integrated graphics from the processor(APU). You can't upgrade the video. If you want to play decent games, you will need to buy a gaming laptop for roughly $1000 or so.
