Dell XPS Desktop Help

[teric506]

Hello - I have an XPS 630I with an AMD Radeon R9 270 video card. Some of the games i try to play are not working very well and i was wondering if a second video card would work better or if i need to upgrade my computer. What are the advantaged of running two video cards? I am trying to figure out where the bottleneck in my system is. Thanks so much for the help. The computer spec are below.

Which games are having problems, and what exactly are the problems?

Yes, we need to know what games are causing problems and what settings you are using. Does lowering the resolution or image quality increase the framerate? if so you are probably gpu limited. If not, you could be cpu limited. I think that cpu and gpu should be fairly well matched, so it would depend on the game and settings which are limiting.
