The main problem with respect to older laptops is the insufficient power of the video card. This problem can be solved in several ways, each of which requires specific skills.

Instructions
Step 1
First, examine the characteristics of the installed video adapter. If you are dealing with an integrated video card, then you have two ways to solve the problem. First, install a second full graphics card.
Step 2
To do this, turn off your laptop. Unscrew all locking screws and remove the bottom cover. Find the video adapter port and install it. Assemble the laptop and turn on the device.
Step 3
Install the required drivers and software. Most likely, you will have to install a program that allows you to switch between installed video cards.
Step 4
The disadvantage of this method is that not all laptops with a pre-installed integrated video card have a port for connecting a second device. In this case, increase the capacity of the existing equipment.
Step 5
Integrated video adapters work at the expense of the computer's RAM. Most often, a large amount of RAM and video card memory is required to run a "heavy" application or game. Install an additional memory card so the system can allocate more resources to the video adapter.
Step 6
If your laptop has a full-fledged video card, then first, configure the parameters of its operation. To do this, disable unnecessary functions. Vsync and anisotropic filtering are usually turned off. You can also lower the resolution of your desktop or application to reduce the load on your video adapter.
Step 7
If you decide to replace the video card, then first examine the capabilities of the motherboard. Check the type of port to which the video card is connected. Find out the maximum device size recommended for use with the motherboard and other hardware.
Step 8
Repeat the operations described in the second and third steps.
