Techy Help- Graphics Cards

murrayout · 4th April 2011, 01:59 PM

Hey there, my current graphics card is the Geforce 7650 GS but there are problems that make lines come across the screen when watching media, it's very annoying.

How easy is it to replace it?

and what about compatability etc?

1. Choose new grafix card.
2. Download drivers for it
3. Replace old card
4. Install downloaded drivers.

Probably best for him to check he has the latest drivers installed first.
