Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon(TM) R7 Graphics
Memory Size - 1024 MB

CPU Type - AMD A10-7800 Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G

Im obviously not even close to an expert but will just a graphics card be a decent upgrade? the current card overheats and is complete shit with most games not even breaking 40fps.

well for example, the culling, counterstrike, or dead by daylight, out of those 3 counterstrike works the best but not perfect on high settings.... the culling barely breaks 40fps and averages 25 and drops to 10 at random times... i bought this pc for about 300 thought it was a good deal, everything seems fine just gaming has been the issue...

also in regards to a specific card? i wouldnt know, that would be my next question.

Are you using the integrated video?

im not sure, ive messed around with everything i could, do not recall an integrated video option.

also my appologies for the bad replies im new to forums.

also here are more specs i dont know if these are needed as well, this is an acer which ive heard are manufactured in a way to not be able to overclock them?

Acer Aspire TC-220
Processor: AMD A10-7800 RADEON R7, 12 COMPUTE CORES 4C+8G 3.50GHz
8gb ram
64-bit os x64-based processir

ultimately id like to know if this comp has any potential...

Sounds like it's just using integrated video since it's an APU.

How many sticks of RAM do you have? Have you opened the side of the PC case yet?

We'd also need to know what kind of power supply is in there, if you wanted to get a dedicated card then you'd have to upgrade that as well.

yes i have opened the side, i wouldnt know how to tell how many stick of ram there are, but if i had to guess by looking i would say one.
any easy way to check my power supply/ sticks of ram?

total output for the power supply says 300w
 
also looking at the video that beers posted it looked like i would be able to settle for that, would another stick of ram improve the performance for me as well?

That'd be the most cost effective approach I think. The iGPU depends enormously on RAM bandwidth for performance.

I'd either get a matching stick with what you have currently (you can use CPU-Z to get the specs off of it) or pick up a 2x4GB DDR3 2400 kit which are about $40.

If your computer looks like this image with one stick then you'll gain a noticeable amount of performance by adding another. If you have two and CPU-Z says 'dual' under channels for memory then the dedicated graphics card approach is your real only option (including a PSU upgrade).

yes it looks like the pic above, i feel like just gettin another stick will give me what i want, thank you so much and i will let you know how things go!

Cool, I'd just make sure it's the same capacity, speed, timings and voltage for best results. A lower capacity stick will give you weird performance.

Also, once it's installed make sure that CPU-Z says 'dual' under memory. Depending on the layout of the board if it says 'Single' (in which you'd get the same game performance) you'd have to power down and move it to one of the other slots to use dual channel.

Good luck!
 
well that seems a little more confusing :S here are the specs i gathered cpu-z (dont know how to read this shiz)

Total Size
8192 MB
Type
Single Channel (64 bit) DDR3-SDRAM
Frequency
810.1 MHz - Ratio 1:8
Timings
11-11-11-28-39 (tCAS-tRC-tRP-tRAS-tCS)
Slot #1 Module
Hyundai Electronics 8192 MB (DDR3-1600) - P/N: HMT41GU6BFR8A-PB

and here is what i was just looking at getting.. am i on the right track?
