    Well met and welcome to Neverwinter!

    I am sorry, I am no good giving advice for Laptop hardware. I enjoy the gaming power and upgrade-ability of desktops much better. I have found that it can be a pain to find a laptop that is affordable and works well with newer games. Laptops are continuing to get better though!

    If any of the Laptop Gurus that may be lurking here do not respond, I'd suggest to go to either (or both) the Nvidia and/or AMD forums and give the specs of your Laptop (You're going to need to go into more detail though than you did here) there and see what they suggest for a video card. Let them know also what you're planning on doing with your laptop (3D gaming). I, personally, perfer ATI (AMD) cards but both really are very good. I'd definitely NOT go with any other brand besides Nvidia or ATI though, if you can help it.

    Don't use an internal card on lappy to play games. The lappy will get heated up and there is a change of it getting fried, even if low. I know a person who had this issue. An external graphic card is comparatively safer.

    By internal I meant the one integrated into keyboard. But if you don't have a choice, keep an eye out on how your CPU heats up. If it heats up too much, just get a break for 5-10 mins. Or maybe make a schedule like play for 1 hour and then take 5 min break by closing the laptop and letting it cool.

    Welcome to Neerwinter and sorry about the graphics card. Can't help you with suggestions short of getting a new chip (or whole integrated CPU) upgrade.
