Section: I have problems with my computer, but I am still determining the best course of action.
Takeaway: If you’re having problems, call a friend and get them to help you. Or don’t, and look it up on Google instead.

I got this problem a while back, and my old graphics card died.
I got this problem a while back, and my old graphics card died. So, I bought a new one. It didn’t help! So I tried lowering the settings to fix it, but that didn’t work either.
I thought there was something wrong with the game itself or my computer, so I researched these forums and found out that sometimes people have issues with their video cards too!
Depending on your game, if your framerate is too low, it could be because your video card needs to be more powerful.
If your framerate is too low, it could be because your game is too demanding.
If the game is old, it will likely be less demanding than newer games.
If the game is new and has yet to be tested by many people, there may be bugs that cause lousy performance on some systems.
A complex title with many effects can make a game harder to run at high framerates (especially if they are not optimized). Simple tags usually have good compatibility but may be more demanding due to simpler graphics and less complex physics equations involved in them.
If your card has limited options, it may work better with a similar yet less powerful model.
If your current video card has a few options, look for something similar but less powerful. This will allow you to get the best performance out of your system without compromising features or quality.
For example, A GeForce 8600GT is suitable for playing games in medium settings. Still, if you want better graphics quality or higher resolutions (like 1080p), then an AMD Radeon HD 2600XT could be a better choice for gaming at high settings.
If you play games with lower-than-average settings, you can lower your frame rates even more (they’ll be slower, but so are most things in life).

This makes a difference.
If none of these suggestions helps, the game itself is fine. So don’t let this keep you from enjoying it.

You can do what I do: sit down and enjoy playing your favorite games as much as possible. If you’re having trouble getting into a particular game because of its framerate and graphics, focus on other aspects of gameplay instead—or even better yet, learn how to play using keyboard commands instead!
I recommend upgrading to a new graphics card if one is available at a reasonable price that works well with your computer setup.
