But, the reviews about the Intel HD 4000 i read on the internet were bunk, it SUCKS!
I need to get a dedicated GPU but when I log and try and upgrade is says no available
But there was an option to get a dedicated GPU when building it, but now there isnt.
Can someone please explain?
Is this just a PCspeciallist limitation on upgrades? If so, can someone tell me what GPU's would be compatible so I can get one from another supplier/??
Thanks
