^ it has intel HD 3000 onboard graphics but K53SC-SX096D has GTX 520M
Though its almost same as that but i think its slightly more faster.Any any option for ATI dedicated graphics?

have a look at this

it has 520M which has better driver support thus will be a little better at gaming than HD 3000.
