Answer
When people tell you to update your video card, they assume you have a desktop. Unfortunately laptop video cards can not be updated yet.

The best solution to help with lagging in games is to get the most up to date video card drivers.

Click the above link and select Notebook Graphics, Radeon HD Series, Mobility Radeon HD 5xxx Series, and Windows 7 - 64 Bit.

is the GeForce GTX 460 video card old for June 2012?

If so what would you recommend upgrading to, that is quick? Im looking for a really fast video card for Diablo III and Guild Wars 2 I just want to know if mine is old and if it should be swapped since it feels like its performance has been diminishing. I got it along with my notebook/laptop in mid 2011. Thanks!
Oh and im sorry i misstyped this but its a GeForce GTX 460M.
apparantly the 485m is the fastest out right now but i cant find a seller..what else would you recommend? I wouldnt be able to install the card that you just mentioned into my laptop Harin right?



Answer
The gtx 460m is still good for gaming it's just amd took off and jump two series above nvidia and nvidia followed by coming out with the kepler series , the gtx 675m is the fastest graphic card which will be followed by the gtx 680m which will hit the market soon, the minimum nvidia graphic card is the gtx 560m , now unless your laptop is custom made the graphic card in your laptop can't be changed
