Get an actual graphics card. Nvidia are the best. Make sure your power supply can handle it.
You probably will have to install Windows on it. There are not of games that actually run on Linux. Tip. Go to the Micrsoft Windows download page on your phone. It will give you a link to download an iso file. The link can be used anywhere and is good for 24 hours. When you install windows, you will be asked for an activation code. Hit enter with no code. You then have 30 days to delete windows or buy a code. Buy a real code from a reputable vendor, not an oem code from eBay or an online vendor. Geoff.
