do I need maybe a different graphics card or something? Maybe more RAM? I have no clue. I want to play Day of Defeat Source off steam with it, I can run the game, but it gets pretty choppy and lags a little bit.
When I look at the Windows Experience Index, it has a subscore of 3, because of graphics and gaming graphics. They are 3 and 3.1, everything else is 4.5 and high (out of 5.9).
What can I do to help my game play smoother?
Thanks a ton.
The game I'm playing (or attempting to play…) is Day of Defeat Source, a game from Steam.

what does 20 FPS mean?

I would have to ask you what game(s) are you playing? They may be SO video intensive that they need a super high end video card to run smooth,ie; 20 FPS and up. I have not had much luck with on-board video cards, integrated type. I play Joint Operations by Novalogic on my HP dv8000 laptop it came with an ATI 200M express video card and it runs relatively good at 22-40 FPS. I have to use windows task manager to nix a few processes and set the in game settings for good graphics that run fairly fast yet look good. Don’t be discouraged, it may just need some tuning. Good luck!
