Are you playing on a laptop? If so, most laptops dont let you replace your gpu, and if they do u need another laptop card.

Price range?
Under $50
Anything that makes it so I don't get those bedrock lines, if I have to go a bit over, I will.

First of all, you need to find out if u can replace the graphics card u have in there now. Some laptops dont let u replace parts. You also need to find out the specs for the Power Supply you have in there so you dont buy a card that will take more power than you have.

I guess I can't, Oh well!
I guess it's not a probook after all, I kinda found that out when minecraft never ran smooth.
