kingkoopaboy Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Do you have a secondary internal or external hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KylarSpex Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Err I don't think so. I have a external hard drive at my house already. It's around 200 gigs or something. Is my computer not good enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blove Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It will work, but you are not looking at stellar performance (AMD Trinity On The Desktop: A10, A8, And A6 Get Benchmarked). A discrete video card would be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KylarSpex Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks blove! How would I go about installing a new video card? Do I have to take it back to the company or can someone just po it in? Haha sorry for the noob question but I haven't messed with PC s before -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blove Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It is something that could be installed by a consumer without too much trouble. If you have not already placed your order, perhaps your vendor has some offers and ideas. You would also have to upgrade your power supply to handle any discrete video card that has better performance than your integrated video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphex Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 don't worry Skyrim is an old game and it should work even on dual core processors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick57 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Check out a amd HD 7750 should be able to find one under a $100.00 dollars, I believe it will run on a 300 watt psu. It will perform a lot better the n the intergrated graphics. You could also try crossfire with I think like a HD 6750, but I'm not to sure how well that would work that A6 APU might actually slow it down, so I would recommend the HD 7750 . Here is a couple on Newegg with 2 gig Vram . http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202021 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125453http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
