    Your GPU is on the weak side, but it's hard to get an idea of how bad it's running on your computer when you only say very slow. Can you tell us how many FPS ( frames per second ) it's running at ?

    Also, do you have the graphics settings set to low ?

    I do not know about Clarkdale and Beam, but it will not run Beam very well, since it is a dual core, like my craptop's Pentium. The GPU, however is pretty bad. REALLY bad. Get at least, on the Nvidia side, a GTX 650 Ti or higher, on the AMD side a 7770, or R7 260 or better. For the CPU, get something like , on the Intel side, a Ivy/Haswell Core i5 or higher, but if you cannot upgrade your current computer, turn all of the settings in the Options menu (CTRL+O) to their lowest, and if you still run poorly, turn the resolution down, and still if no change in performance, you need to upgrade.

    Don't forget to disable PostFX as well. Most people miss it because it's a separate menu, but it kills the most FPS.

    Oh yeah. I keep PostFX off all the time, anyway.
