I think there's something wrong with my laptop video card.?

i have a samsung r780 laptop and i want to upload the sims 3 but it doesnt work. i'm assuming it's my video card because even when i go to play solitaire it comes up with "Hardware acceleration is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow game performance. Make sure you have the latest video card driver installed and that hardware acceleration is turned on." So i checked my hardware acceleration and it's on full. So i don't know if i need a new video card or if i need to update it. I don't want to buy updating software just for that. Hope use can help :)|||Did u try to update the driver. You should be able to do it free at the manufacturers website.|||There are different models of the samsung r780 ,there is one that has a nvidia gt 330m graphic card, if it's the one that a answerer had mention as well, still should be able to play sims 3 because your laptop is above the sims 3 minimum requirement , agree might just need a update from amd .com or samsung .com|||First of all, lots of low end laptops don't even have a graphics (video) card, they have integrated (or onboard) graphics.

Second, you cannot change or upgrade a graphics (video) card on 99% of all laptops.

Here are the specs for Samsung R780 laptop:

You have the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 1GB graphics card, a very low end card, with a score of 312:

Not much gaming you can do on that...
