is it possible to upgrade the graphics card for armaggeddon xeon micro 2? I recently purchased it as it seemed like a good deal and came with a monitor mouse headset and keyboard but the system is horrible and runs cs:go at 13 fps. Does anyone think its possible to upgrade it?

If this is it then you payed a lot of money for a bad office computer.

yes

Ok... yeah that is a nice desktop pc but it is no gaming pc like @jaslion said. 

 

The system does look like is is upgradeable but only the storage and RAM.

There is no dGPU, it uses the iGPU and that one is not very good, the CPU is a G5400 is a low end CPU used mostly for office environments word processing and internet use etcetera.

 

Sorry.

If you can return it and actually get a computer that can game. Building one yourself is easy and will give you the best value for money.

100% agree.

I would try returning it, but I doubt that's even possible. You maybe could change the cpu which could improve things.

Doubt that, it might be soldered looking at the design.

No point in getting a better cpu as it will still just be intel hd graphics and that thing only has a 180w power supply which can be maxed out by some intel cpu's that the board should accept.

Looks like an ok media box.  May be good for very light gaming.  In other words, a SFF PC with RGB that is trying desperately to make people think it has more power than it actually does. 610 integrated video can do 4K, so that's nice.  Then again, you could have just bought a new Raspberry Pi 4.

 

You would have been better served building one yourself and getting an actual GPU.  You can't upgrade the buit-in graphics on this, and the CPU is years out of date.  Relegate this to a media box and build a PC.  Or return it.  You should return it if you can.  It's a gussied up office computer.

I agree, but you can get some gaming done with better intel hd graphics. Again, only if returning isn't an option.

they say they can only change it to this https://leapfroglobal.com/amg/Recruit-Bundle-marchhol/marchholiday-promotions should i?

 

It's still a garbage system, but you can at least upgrade and change things in that case.  If that's the only choice you have, take the desktop, see if you want to invest any money into it.  Worst case, you can flip it.

And that's how those companies get you. They prey on the not knowledgeable consumer and sell them old/weak systems for a premium because they look like gaming systems or are branded gaming systems.
