My wife won this last year and she tries to play games on it.  It has a stock intergrated Intel 6200 HD graphics.  It has a HDMI port which I am wondering can be hooked up to an external desktop graphic card?  I was looking at

which is similar to something Linus did a video on a while back and it receives a HDMI cable.  I believe this cable is used for sending and receiving data to the external unit.  Would this work with a regular HDMI port?  I don't have money for a new rig.

external graphics means you need thunderbolt port
