I want to play Mass Effect 2 on my pc but my graphics card (Intel GMA 3100) is not good enough, suggestions?

I currently have a stardard pc running Windows 7 that meets all the requirements to play Mass Effect 2, except graphics. My current graphics card is an Intel GMA 3100 and seems to be nonremovable (I do not see one in the slot).



I am trying to look for a graphic card that is compatible with my computer and can give me the performance to run this game. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!I want to play Mass Effect 2 on my pc but my graphics card (Intel GMA 3100) is not good enough, suggestions?
We need more information your computer. What's your CPU and what type of video slot do you have? (For recent computers, it would be PCI-Express)



Here are the system requirements for Mass Effect 2.

It isn't a really hardcore game like Crysis, so you don't need anything too high-end. Even $75 cards like the Radeon 4670 meet the minimum requirements. However for games you don't really want the minimum, but rather the recommended hardware.



Basically, $100 graphics cards can play smoothly (GeForce 9800T, Radeon 5670) while cards around $130 are even better (GTS 250, Radeon 5750) and cards in the $175-$200 range are overkill- well above the recommend level (Radeon 5770, GTX 260, Radeon 4890)I want to play Mass Effect 2 on my pc but my graphics card (Intel GMA 3100) is not good enough, suggestions?
The GMA 3100 is built into the motherboard's chipset, so you won't see it as a separate video card.



Mass Effect 2 is moderately demanding on system resources, so at minimum you'll need to add a fairly serious video card and upgrade the power supply to handle the new card.

Windows XP SP3 / Windows Vista SP1 / Windows 7

2.6+ GHz Cure 2 Duo Intel or equivalent AMD CPU

2 GB RAM

ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, or better recommendedI want to play Mass Effect 2 on my pc but my graphics card (Intel GMA 3100) is not good enough, suggestions?
You need a minimum of 1 PCIe x 16 slot, plus at least one 12 volt six pin connector from the power supply, figure a minimum of at least 200 additional watts of power. I you don't have the PCIe x 16 slot, you will not be able to upgrade, if you do not have enough power or the connector, then you will have to upgrade your power supply too. You will also need 10.5" from the back of the chassis to the hard disk cage in order to have enough room to install the regular card.



I would recommend the ATI HD 4870, ATI HD 5850 or 5870 cards. nVidia is not as good as ATI right now.
ATI 5700 or higher model. ATI is pro graphics cards
