Ok, thanks for the suggestions but I'm getting a new graphics card because my current one is terrible - I'm not looking for something that's going to cost me hundreds of dollars, I just want something that is better than my current card, for an affordable price.

50 bucks your not going to get a good card i have a good all-around card my has been super clocked so mine will cost more but this is the one thats not superclocked http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130910 thats the non super clocked the one that superclocked is here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130910

just save some cash and get a NVIDIA card they are worth it and if you get the latest one it will run basicly anything great aslong as you have the ram memory and motherboard good enough for it also

Oh, you're talking pounds? Not sure about the prices over in the UK, just throwing some stuff out there, though the Radeon one should be about in that range if you look in the right place. Pretty much any recent card is better than your integrated graphics, but you don't want to buy something too cheap and then regret it later.

If I were you I'd go for a Radeon HD 7770 (this one offers pretty good bang for your buck, I believe; pick whichever one you like, just make sure it fits in your case. Also, don't worry too much about memory size as long as it's 1 GB or more) or a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 (I have the mobile version of this, and it's a pretty solid performer for the price).

SemiziasIntel(R) HD Graphics Family is terrible indeed. Go to start. and type in search (or go to run) and type: Dxdiag
it will bring up a box. and tell me exactly what graphics card you have. (example: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850)

also, What is your CPU, IOS, how old is your PC and you might want to consider giving out a bit more than 50$.

I have customized my own pc myself, I suggest you ask yourself this first: do you want to break open your pc to get out the graphics card and replace it. Do you know how to do it? Have you done it before?

I used dxdiag to find out which graphics card I have - and that's what it's called.

Also I am prepared to replace my graphics card. A friend of mine built a computer from scratch, and he has changed his graphics card about 3 times, so I'm sure I could get him to help me out if I need it.

I got my computer early last year, new, I'd just like to replace it's graphics card.

Best graphics card I advise, EVER? AMD Radeon R9 290X. Plays BF3 with 92.1 FPS.
or the GeForce GTX 690 playing BF3 at 149 FPS

Whoops.

If you want one that's worth having, save up for at least ~$100 or so. The cards you get in that tier won't be the insane monstrosities they have for $300+, but they'll play most games pretty well. Anything less, and you'll wish you had just saved up a little bit more to buy a decent card.
