Hello,

Thats a very weak card for gaming.Laptops were never meant for gaming.Buy a desktop if you plan to game

BUt still people say its a good graphic card for getting medium graphics onboard,so it still lags even though i ve tried everything,+its i think attached with some intel graphic card so is there anY way i could switch to my nvidia graphics for gamiNG

What are the full specs of your PC?

its 2410m i5 2nd gen 2.40 ghz processor,n5110 series dell laptop,nvidia GT 525M 1gb graphics with intel HD 3000 SERIES graphics ,ram 4 GB .

The Gt525M is a very weak card and the Intel HD 3000 built in IGP is even weaker.

Depending on the game, the best you can hope for is medium settings, but I doubt most games will let you go beyond low.

While the nVidia GT 525M is better than the Intel HD 3000, it is still considered a relatively weak card.

The Intel HD 3000 is slightly faster than a desktop Radeon HD 5450. The nVidia GT 525M would be slower than a desktop Radeon HD 5570, but faster than the desktop HD 5550 by my estimation.

In comparison to desktop nVidia cards, the Intel HD 3000 is roughly equal to a nVidia GT 210, and the nVidia GT 525M is slower than the GT 220 (probably 30% slower).

Set your power settings to be on full when on battery. When you unplug the laptop it will step down the CPU and video card to save bettery unless you change the defaults.

So keep it plugged when playing games. It will drain the battery in like 30min tops...

Control Panel, Power Management.

I am not using a computer with Windows 7 at this very moment, but you should be able to access your Power Options from the Control Panel.

Choose the "Balanced" power settings and click something like Advanced Settings which will open up another window with a lot of options for you to tweak. Scroll down near the bottom and you should see something for PCI-e and CPU settings. Expand them and you should see options to set the performance level when running plugged in and from the battery. Set the performance level for battery to 100%. That should ensure that laptop will run on battery as if it was plugged in to the AC outlet.

Just understand this will drain your battery a lot faster. If you were able to play a game running on the battery for 1.5 hours, then after making these changes it would probably drop down to 45 minutes - 60 minutes. Maybe less.

It's always a good idea to plug in the laptop to the AC outlet if you want to play games.
