External video card

[DARIUSH2001]

Hello. I have a Packard Bell EasyNoteTK 85 laptop and I wonder if I can buy an external graphics card through USB port for more gaming performance.
These are my specs: Processor: Intel Core i3-380M 2.53 GHz
RAM: 4 GB DDR3
Graphics(integrated): Intel HD Graphics
So, that`t the problem. Those integrated graphics aren`t good at all.
I want to buy an external graphics card through USB port if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

"Will it work"? Probably.

Is it worth it? Probably not.

perfect example to say that it is not 100% doable and not always a good performance increase. Best not to do it.

USB is not nearly fast enough to handle a video card. Even the egpu options that use the mini pci-e ports are bottlenecked by the slow bus speeds and aren't good for gaming.

So, I have to buy a new laptop?
If yes, can you tell me some good specs for gaming? But not too expensive.

best going for a desktop PC. All Laptops this applies to, not just some. Even the fastest USB 3.0 isn't really fast for a graphics card.
