I plan on getting one of these cards for my Toshiba Satellite.
1. Do you guys think it will be good for 1080p movies and action games at 720p? (my monitor supports 1080p)
2. Where would i buy it? I dont see any link of where to buy these.
ATI Mobility Radeon? HD 4600 Series Specs
Going that your in america,ive heard nothing but good things about Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!
Only they dont deliever to Europe lol
I got an XFX ATI Radeon HD 4650 1GB,works good on the likes of call of duty 4,but just dont expect to run it in maximum graphic options,but its not far off:)
If you want to run the latest games in full graphic option,id say the 5770 or something similar would be the one.
You don't list the exact model of your notebook, but a quick look at the Toshiba web site suggests that all of the Satellite L505D series have onboard graphics that can't be upgraded.
Your goal to convert a low-end notebook into a high-powered video/gaming machine is admirable, but it's not at all practical.
No i emailed toshiba and i found out that although it is onboard graphics, i can change it out i just have to install the drivers before i put it on in place of my old one, and they told me if i send it to them i can change it out but they would have to replace the motherboard, which i would have to pay for (not paying for the other attached components)
