Hello people,

I got a computer with intel graphic card(integrated) and realised that I can't even run a video that is HD1080, Blu Rays and anything above 2gb video file, without buffering so hard or not even able to play it well.

I don't play high end games so I don't really need expensive graphic cards.

Also it must have a HDMI port so I can connect to TV

If I get a new graphic cards, do I need a new CPU as well to run a video?
 
Solution
Which processor do you have that can't handle 1080 content?
Even my old core2 duo notebook with gma 4500hd played 1080p content just fine so I suspect you might have other issues going on.
