Graphics card comparison

[gsouvikmail@gmail.com]

Hello, I need a bit of help from you guys.

I am going to buy a laptop within the next 3 days and I have shortlisted two models - Dell Inspiron 15R and HP Pavilion dv6 6016TX.

Their configurations are almost the same (2nd Gen Intel Core i5 2.3GHz, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD).

The main difference (according to me) between the two laptops is their graphics solutions.

Dell Inspiron 15R has a 1GB nVIDIA GeForce GT525M card, while the HP Pavilion dv6 model sports 1GB of AMD Radeon HD 6490M.

My question is - which of the above two cards is better suited for gaming purposes? (As far as I know, both are mid-level graphics cards; but please correct me if I am wrong).

Please note that I will primarily use this laptop for Photoshop and for playing games (including Crysis 2, at least at medium details).

Looking forward to your replies.


Thanks and regards.

Nope they are not mid-level graphics cards, they are low-end, the barest of the bare. Get a slightly higher model and that may make all the difference.

GT 525M is 10-15% faster.
