I recently got a HP Pavilion G7 with an AMD Phentom II Processor (Putting out at ~2.60GHz)
I've upgraded the RAM to 8G's and downloaded Steam, eager to get to some gaming with a Laptop that had the processing power to play higher end games. Needless to say, I was unable to play any of my higher end games like Dragon ball Xenoverse or Payday 2. I did some research and I saw the culprit was more than likely the Graphics card. Is there any way I can improve this thing? Would deleting it and using whatever Windows 10 has improve how my games run?
Seriously, I just wanna play my games.
Nope, but even if you could double its speed it just doesn't have the hardware to game. This image from userbenchmark will show you exactly how little power the HD 4200 series has. Intel HD 5000 graphics, which stutter with even Microsoft Minesweeper (I know because I have it in my Surface Pro 3) is 713% faster than the HD 4200.
