    How do I upgrade my graphics to have 3D acceleration?
    I have some new games that won't play correctly on my PC. I have been told it must be my graphics card. How do I upgrade it. I have downloaded the latest drivers and that didn't fix it. I figure I have to by another card? How do I know which one to buy. I need to get one as cheap as possible.

    I have had the same problem as you with the games that I have had. I did have to go and purchase a new card.

    It should say on the boxes for the games as to what the requirements are for your PC concerning the games that you are trying to play. If you no longer have the boxes, then you might try putting the name of one of the games on a Google search and also typing in the word requirements, or system requirements beside the name of the game.

    Also, if you do still have the boxes for the games, then you might take the boxes with you to the store where you will buy your graphics card so that the person that is helping you there can see the information on the boxes.

    On the following site, are some prices and comparisons between various graphics cards.
