My Computer: HP Pavilion p6310y, Win7 64bit 10 GB de ram
AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz
Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1G in the pcie slot and NVIDIA GeForce 9100 on the motherboard (is the pcie one better or weaker?)
With the most decent updates and directX 11

Cause i tried running Ori and The Blind Forest that requires a minimum of :

OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ @ 2.8 GHz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce 240 GT or Radeon HD 6570 – 1024 MB (1 gig)
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 8 GB available space

The game run slooooooooooooooooowwww, so do i not have the minimum hardware required? Did i miss a step? I have never tried a game that requiered a powerful video card, so i need pointers.

I don't know how to compare

Your CPU is old yet still usable, certainly meets the requirements for that game.  However, your video card is very old and wasn't particularly special when new - You would need to upgrade this in order to run that game reasonably well.  It really depends on your budget but something a GeForce 750 would be a reasonable upgrade to that PC without going overboard.

Likely a new PSU as well since it's an HP...
