Video Card, How bad does mine suck?

Is this in a laptop? Yes that GPU is very low-end. Basically it's there for hardware acceleration on videos and that's about it.

My laptop's GT420m is rated 589, and the card in my desktop is rated 3148

This site seems to run tests that favor Geforce cards though, in the real world each game is going to perform differently on Geforce and Radeon, depending on how the game was coded and what APIs it uses.
 
not a laptop, just your standard office machine
its built up pretty nicely for what it is, but i didn't upgrade the graphics
 
yeah its pretty anemic.

what games are you trying to play? depending on resolution and how much eye candy you want, powerful gfx cards can be had for cheap now adays. a decent one will set you back $50 and a good one will be around $100-120. also, depending on what power supply you have, you may have to upgrade that as well.

good thing black friday is around the corner =)
 
i was just thinking about getting a decent first person shooter on the machine in my office
just finished a deadline, and the boss is away for a couple days
i'm just baby sitting the office at this point

so upgrading the card isn't going to happen in time anyway
sounds like i'd be better off getting an emulator and playing some older games a little less graphic intensive
