Graphics Card

[SkyRider]

So, I'm talking to a guy at the computer store. I said my HP computer can't download video shot at 60 fps. (It is fine with 30 fps.) He said that I need to upgrade my GRAPHICS CARD.

What is a GRAPHICS CARD?

How do I replace the existing graphics card with the new upgraded graphics card?

Depending on your system, you may or may not be able to do so.
I'm assuming you may be able to since it sounds as though he's trying to upsell you on one.
It depends on your mobo (motherboard) and whether or not it can accept the grafx card or not as well as if the system as a whole can handle it.

That advice might be as good as the price you paid for it. It might work. It might not. If your computer is marginal, then the issue could be the graphics card, the operating system (particularly if you have certain classes of extra programs installed including malware), and/or the processor. I have even seen frame-rate problems being caused by the customer having too big of a monitor (too many pixels.)

Try using the system recovery CD that came with the computer. If the video works at 60 fps after the system recovery CD, then the problem was software. If you have a huge monitor (>=1920 by anything), then consider a video card upgrade. Otherwise, consider purchasing a new computer.

Note: A new video card may require a better motherboard and/or power supply to be useful. Hence the advice to consider purchasing a new computer.
