Why is my computer performance so BAD?

[Pizzaguy]

I didn't think mine was THAT bad? Jeeeeez I thought the higher the number like 8200 or whatver meant the better the card is? Clearly I was mistaken.

It's a newer card, but it doesn't mean it's better. An '09 stock corvette is newer than an 08' ZR01 but isn't better. Same with your setup. The 8200 is newer than a 7900gs, but it isn't better. You'll be much better off for gaming with a new dedicated gpu.

nice analogy ^

Lol everyone ignored you and listening to Harper. hhaha.

ha. i know. i might have been a tad vague in my post.lol

upgrading to that card that zedman posted will do you wonders in your game. as long as you PSU can support it.

For the cost of a game you can actually buy a new video card:
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100265HDMI Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards - $89

wait, what video game is $89??

also what Power supply do you have? what is the wattage?
