Yours could not be any worse than my 7 year old laptop that I'm surprised is working as we speak and is still able to play some of the newest games. But yea grahpics cards are always the problem it seems. Should see some tech videos on youtube to see what kind of graphic cards they suggest. It's how i figured out what laptop i was gonna buy in the future. :3

This is a long time coming for me, i haven't had the time to do so before but i decided to finally try to resolve this issue.
i bought a new desktop around a year ago or so hoping i'll be able to do more serious gaming, nothing too expensive but supposedly quite good,
and turns out it did improve my gaming considerably, but i noticed that games that have higher requirements do not run well at all despite when i check on websites like canyourunit, i should be able to run it fluidly and that does not appear to be the case, not trying to run 60FPS Dark souls 3 or anything similar.
I am not an expert or anything on this matter so feel free to bring up even trivial tips or questions that may help me to start gaming ^^.
for example: Shiness: Lightning Kingdom, checking on canyourunit my PC should be able to run it pretty easily yet when i start the game i'm lagging so very much.
my PC hardware:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460
CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz
RAM: 16GB
Windows 10 Pro 64
GPU Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
forgot to mention, i don't know if it matters in any way but my screen is a TV connected via HDMI cable, an old pilot TV.
here's a small gratitude token for the helpers or forum crawlers xd.
Edit: it seems like my graphics card is the issue from what everyone is saying here, do you have a recommendation for a graphics card?
something that would fit into my system and wouldn't break my wallet completely(i am a student).
Edit2: i am a fucking freaking idiot....
i opened up my PC and it turns out i do have a dedicated GPU(i started doing some research to see the difference between dedicated integrated prices and such)... turns out i wasn't connected properly inside my PC by the store given to me, i reconnected the plugs, switched my HDMI socket inside, i am now connected to a GTX 960 and my gaming runs fucking smooth fluid, over 2 years i've been suffering only because it wasn't connected to the proper place(i had the socket the whole time but trying to connect it before didn't work so i figured it's not supposed to go there).
closing the thread thanks for helping out everyone, without your help i wouldn't have realized it.
