New gaming PC Help

[DJMorgan]

Good afternoon all

I am new to this forum so bare with me. I recently bought a new PC, the person told me it was a gaming pc which I have no tried Warcraft on, although it has 8 CPU`s 16gb of ram, Im concerened I may not have the correct graphics card.

However, I have saved a notepad version of the information which is on the dxdiag via the search option.

I will post it with the following thread.

Many thanks

Daniel

That's an integrated graphics chip, not a discrete graphics card, I would not class any integrated chip as suitable for new games, and certainly would not class any PC that only has integrated graphics as a gaming PC.

Does it have a discrete graphics card? If you don't know, is the monitor cable plugged into the motherboard ports of the PC (ie. where the USB and ethernet ports are) or does it look like its plugged into a separate card?

Im such an idiot, my friends had a look, he said I had the hdmi cable plugged into the intel graphics card not the asus..its now working like it should. Thanks for your help n suggestions either way. I feel like such a tool.
