I currently have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch. I have Windows 7 on bootcamp and I am looking for a way to raise my FPS on games like Skyrim.


Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Hard Drive 500GB Serial ATA; 5400 rpm


Is there such a thing out that can raise my graphics(external graphics card)? Or do I need to upgrade something else? Or is it just simply I need more memory in my bootcamp partition?

Thanks in advanced

My guess is that you need to upgrade to a computer with a dedicated graphics card. That's your best bet for increased FPS.

Easiest, quickest and cheapest solution that I'm surprised nobody has mentioned yet;

Lower the settings.
