Hello & Welcome to the Forum

If you could post your spec, that would help in working out what can be done to improve the performance of games!

ok - When in game, go to settings and then look for Video. Check what settings are being used and if AA is enabled, disable it and see if it improves.

Details of the settings would help!

thief is installing again don't know why but is there any graphics cards you would suggest that would work and anything else

Sounds like you need an SSD too. Getting one for me was the best upgrade I ever did. So much waiting I don't need to do any more.

What would you recommend

What PSU do you have?

Do you know how much room is in your case for a GFX card? does it have a GFX card already or is it using the APUs built-in GFX core?

Do you know what speed the RAM is and whether its running at full speed?
