Re: Graphic driver

Games Require GPU aka VIDEO card.

Laptops are not upgradeable as far as the video goes.

Re: Graphic driver

Intel graphics is integrated on the mothe rboad. The only drivers that work (with the possible exception of the previous post) are from Dell. Even the driver that one will find on the Intel site will not work. And there is no way to add one in

This is a laptop and as such unless it is designed for gaming will not be very upgradable.
