Anyway, is there a solution to my problem?
If you had a proper game-playing computer, it would be stationary, not mobile, and the back of it would have two video ports, the right one, and the wrong one. Plugging the display into the bad port would be very easy to undo, just swap it.
Until laptops have any standard for various classes, they cannot be used to test games on, and system requirements cannot try to accommodate them. A Radeon mobile device is complete, unlike the cheap Optimus device from nVIDIA, which includes only a "back half", no front end.
You are stuck with digging through your drivers and graphics controls to take total control of all aspects, because the Optimus simply is too lazy and unreliable to do anything automatically in far too many games. Here's a discussion:
P. S. The Geforce 610, 620, and 630 are ranked from god-awful on the bottom, through absolutely terrible in the middle, to "still not good enough" on the top at GT 630.
- Anonymous10 years agoSo would buying a proper GPU (e.g. Radeon) help me,
or do I have to buy a desktop computer (which is probably very expensive) with two video ports?
Thank you for your feedback anyway!- Anonymous10 years ago
Laptops haven't had an upgrade option for the GPUs in quite a long time; at least five years now, and only Sager offered it for the final couple of years it was available. Games-capable desktop and mini-tower PCs are a lot less expensive in two ways than laptops. The initial cost is less, then the upgrade option gives them longer lives.
Factually, the "initial" video port seen on any stationary PC is only its Intel IGP, so from a gamers' point of view, it might as well not exist. Relatively recent technical improvements allowed some size reductions to the computer cases, so that a gaming system need not take quite the amount of under-desk real estate as previously.
I will say that none of Dell's mini-towers provide adequate internal space for game-playing GPU hardware, save for their overpriced "Alienware" machines.
