    hi i know very little about graphics cards, i have a nvidia gt330 card in my laptop and was wondering is it any good or should i replace it with something else. Also it has integrated RAMDAC, im not sure if that has any bearing on it but i dont know what it is.
    i use programmes that can be heavy in graphics at times for rendering and things and play games a bit. it seems to be ok but i was just wondering should i upgrade it and how much would a decent upgrade cost?
    thanks

    As a rule you can't upgrade laptop graphics cards as they are built into the motherboard. I stand to be corrected on this but the usual way to upgrade your graphics for a laptop is to buy a new laptop.

    Details on your graphics card are here. This a good site to give you an idea on graphics card performance in general.
