I forget the exact name of it -- (I need to find the program that tells you, it's installed somewhere on this hard-drive but I should get cookies if I can manage to find it, Lmao.)
And it isn't quite 'Out of Date', and the Driver's are up to speed and recommended for the card.

I've narrowed it down to the fact that I'm playing on a huge T.V. rather than a monitor, and since this Graphics card only has an HDMI output (And another one, I forget what they're called, but it's not for a 'normal' desktop monitor cord.) and I have no regular-sized HDMI screens.

However since I am borrowing the GPU, I figure I might as well replace it with my own, much stronger, GPU anyway.
I've decided on the GeForce GTX 960, which is not the newest or the greatest but is easily within my budget. From what I read, it can handle Skyrim beautifully on Ultra, or at least High, Graphics settings. Which means if I have them a bit lower than that, I can play it on such an oversized screen without too much issue, until I invest in a monitor.

Skyrim doesn't lag too terribly, but it's enough to discourage me from playing intensively on it. So I've started moving over to Fallout, which I had never actually gotten in to before. And Fallout: New Vegas, which seems to have more mods for it than Fallout 3:, is what I've been playing the last few days. I couldn't get into it on the console, but on the PC, I'm definitely enjoying it. Plus it runs on High graphics rather easily on my T.V. I suppose it's high time for a change of pace anyway, right?

I already have half the cost of the GPU covered, and it will take me two or three weeks to gather up the rest, but it'll be oh-so worth it.
Also, more for giggles than anything, I tried playing DS2 on this rig and my gawd. You would think an older game like that, even at such high resolution, would look poo on a 40" HD, without the few graphical mods for it installed.
You would be wrong.
It wasn't gorgeous and color-filled and lifechanging, but it looked amazingly good, like... Well, I dunno, but it was nice.
Also there was no lag, but I suppose that goes without saying.
