Low fps, probably need a new graphics card - help?

Low profile is going to really restrict the type of cards you can plug into your computer, usually only lower powered cards are in that form. The beefier cards usually require a much more powerful power supply (with appropriate connectors) and 2 full size slots (for the fan, power comes with a lot of heat).

The most powerful low profile card I found on newegg is this HD7750 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129271 and it's really not much more powerful than the minimum req HD 4770... Having said that, it scores 1631 compared to your HD 6450's 292 benchmark, according to http://www.videocardbenchmark.net

Like I said though, you need to make sure that your powersupply can handle it, and that your PCI-E slot is compatible, etc. EDIT: Forget that card I linked, your PC cannot handle it - the powersupply is too low and the PCI-E slot is only version 2.0.

EDIT: sorry I replied before you told us your PC. I'm afraid the Acer X1930 is really hard to upgrade, it only has a very small 220W power supply and the unconventional casing doesn't help with upgrade parts. People have talked about it here http://www.tomshardware.com/s/upgrade+aspire+x1930/

You'd really be better off buying a new computer sorry.
