What graphics card should i buy for my laptop?
I have a dell Studio 15. I run GTA 4 on it, but it can't run smoothly unless I change the graphics options to 16 bit, resolution all the way down, shading off, etc.Even at this state it can still get choppy if there's too much going on. What graphics card should I get for it and how much would it cost?

First off, this needs to be moved to Computer Compendium.

Also, could you link me to the machine? Or, perhaps to the specific parts, such as processor and psu, as well as your price range, and monitor resolution? Those are the biggest influences really.

I don't mean it's stupid to own that laptop.  I have no idea if it's good or not.

I mean it's stupid to try to change graphics cards on laptops.
