Hello all,
I was considering buying an external graphics card for my laptop since it sometimes struggles running Guild Wars when I play on my monitor at 1440x900 (I think) resolution. I have an integrated graphics card so I won't be able to replace it out right, so I figured an external was the next best thing.
I was hoping to get some suggestions of external graphics cards which would work for my situation. I browsed on google a bit, but I am completely new to graphics cards and don't really know what I'm looking at. Also, I would like to use it to play GW2 when it comes out.
My computer specs:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (2.92 GB usable)
System Type: Windows 7 32-bit
Thanks
External Graphics Card

Not going to work. Those things are designed to allow you to have multiple monitors connected to your laptop, they are meant for presentations and multi-tasking, they often struggle to even display a dvd movie and no way in Halifax will they work to play GW.

Darn...I guess I'm stuck with it for now then. That explains why I couldn't find much on google concerning external cards and gaming. Thanks for your help

Check at www.notebookreview.com, they have a thread on that in the gaming section. However, even if the GPU is powerful enough, the problem is that you'll be limited by the bandwidth of your connection (USB2.0 etc).
