Making Skyrim run with bad graphics card.

[1337sharky]

I have a Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family Video card running on a 36 bit 60Hz Toshiba. Skyrim just looks like gray triangles to me. Is there any way i can make Skyrim run in low graphics?

EDIT: ignore this post

Yeah I just realized he said mobile lol. Some laptops can use external GPUs but its extremely unefficiant expensive and hard to find

@firo40

do such laptops exist??? (please don't take it otherwise)

never came across such a laptop.....where do you plug in the card? do we get cards specific for that purpose or any card works????

A friend told me to just download a Skyrim Mod to run in low graphics. But i'm a bit afraid to download random things.
I downloaded something the other day and now i have all these crazy pop ups and stuff ( need to deal with that too)
Need to ask for help instead of trying to do these things on my own. 🙁

most of the skyrim mods are unofficial...i don't trust them

even if you download the mod....i do not think it is going to be of much help to you.

get another pc or laptop if you wish to game

Yes I suppose that is the only way to go about this.
I didn't want to buy another one since this one still works. But i guess if its for gaming I should. (needs to save money)
