How to convince my parents to let me buy a new graphic card

[Tommylebig]

Hi , I want to buy a new graphic card because my current one cannot play call of duty ghost and arma 3 , I already bought those games but they are unplayable because it lag too much . My parents don't want to let me buy a graphic card even if I have the money for it , they say of it is too much expensive even if I buy it . Anyone have a trick to convice them ?

[RevoltTrain]

Well, what card are you currently running?

[Notree]

Its your money.. Tell them you'll do more chores or something 

[niofalpha]

Get them into a game, and let them see how unenjoyable it is?

[spartaman64]

what is your parents level of knowledge about computers if its not that high just say your computer is too slow in general and a gpu will speed it up

[Clyne]

Say that your card is broken and you have no iGPU/other GPU to use so you need a new card to use.

2. Go to the store.

 

3. Buy one

I am detecting a reference to SAO II.

I'm assuming if he's asking this question -- he may even be too young for a job.

Not that simple by the sounds of it the OP still lives with his parents and are controlled by them.

They know , I show it to my father yesterday he just said you don't need that you can play outside

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

People, understand that parents don't want their kids to be throwing money around here and there for some game they like to play. It just doesn't seem logical to them.

I have the money fore one they just don't want me to let me buy one

I have no idea what that is...

does you dad play outside?

Unless the OP is like 14, there's no reason not to. What parent is going to hold their child inside of their home and not let them get a job?

This. Just...this^ 100%. Only excuse is if you are not old enough, only excuse.

Well unless it is THEIR money, why not? If it is money you got from other means, working, birthday cash, etc. Then why wouldn't you be able to spend it on something YOU want? If they don't want you spending all your time inside, maybe you need to make a balance of both? (it will be good for you anyways...if they are saying that you probably currently spend too much time playing)

Tell him that if the "outside" ran at 5 FPS, then it would also be unendurable.

Sword Art Online II. 

[Tommylebig]

I have no idea what that is...

I don't know what he mean too

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

If their knowledge of computers is limited lie that with a graphics card you could code which would look great on a resume. Parents love to hear about something that could make their child successful in life!

I'll be honest, that's good parenting. How old are you, and do you play outside regularly?

I dont think you understood what op is saying he has the money that he likely earned but they wont let him buy what he wants.

13 and not much

I was clarifying, if it was the parents money I could understand. But it's his money. Most likely the OP spends too much inside playing video games, they want him to explore other things instead of doing that all day. They probably won't let him do it until he learns to balance out his activities, otherwise I can't see why they wouldn't let him spend his birthday/xmas cash.
