So, I recently purchased a Dell R1631 PD01X docking station. It supports "half-height PCI cards". Now, I am using a Dell Latitude D630 laptop. I am using the Intel Integrated Graphics model. I got this laptop for temporary usage as my old gaming computer went out. However, im not going to be able to get another gaming computer for another year or two, and I want to do some somewhat intensive gaming.
So my question is, what is a decent, under $75 dollar graphics card that fits the specifications for this expansion dock. Also, if anyone has any recommendations for games on that card, that look good, are good, and work smooth on that card.
Here is the link to the Amazon page of the dock: http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Dell-Docking-Station-Replicator/dp/B007HOFE5I
Some games I might want to play: Skyrim, Minecraft, After Effects (not a game, but still software that requires a decent GPU), Unity (game development software), Half-Life 2 / Source Engine Games, amongst any recommendations for cards you recommend.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
