I got an ATI X300 graphic card and it's not too bad but I got one problem. It lags like hell even with low requirement games. NOT ALWAYS though, it only lags when there is a lot of movement in a game or a video OR if it's a high quality video. Example: When I'm watching a video that's uploading with a crappy cam in 2005 with someone playing guitar in it, it plays just fine. When I try to play a video on youtube which is kind of good quality and is uploaded in oktober 2010, the video lags like HELL but the rest of the computer works perfectly. Also when I'm playing a superlow requirement game like Baldur's Gate II (which is, if you don't know, a pretty nice rpg from the year freaking 2000!!!) it plays great until 7 or so people start shooting magic at me. This shouldn't be happening at all because my graphic's card should handle it on high graphics without lagging ONCE throughout the game. Also, if you don't know Baldur's Gate II, then I'll give another example. GTA San Andreas. It works just fine until I got like 10 people shooting at me at the same time IT LAGS LIKE HELL!!!.. It's freaking annoying and weird cuz it shouldn't be happening... anyway, any one of you might know a solution? I got this computer from a friend so I can't bring it back to the store or anything... I think I'll buy a new graphs card anyway just to play the newer games out there, but still, till I buy a new one, I wanna know why it lags so hard.... Thx in advance..
