hi, i would like to know more about laptop graphic, basically how do we tell which one is better than the other? because i am not really good in technical field, i would like to know if we can say nvidia GTX is better than GT, and higher number like a GTX 560 is better than a GTX 485, and these 2 are better than a GT 555?

i would also like to know if GDDR5 is better than DDR3? and 2 GB memory is better than a 1 GB memory?

i read about the comparison table in the previous post, if i am anticipating online gaming or some pc game, with a certain graphic need, for example like diablo 3 in the future? which one can last for a longer use in the future? i would like to buy a laptop with a good graphic card since laptop not easy to upgrade in future, if they actually can...


sorry i am not familiar with graphic card specification, i'm a noob enduser >.<

Oh i see, thanks for the fast reply =)

is the 485, 480, 470 series better than the 560 series? with the 485 at the top position?

i don't see too much laptop with a GTX 485, i will try to get one if the price is ok, or 560 if i can find =)

Yes, GTX485M at the top, though if you want the similar performance with less cost, consider AMD HD6970M..

Here's some benchmark,
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4223/eurocom...d-6970m-rocks/5

From the price point, you need to add around $250+ to upgrade from HD6970M to GTX485M..

oooh quite a similar performance i should say? and the 250 is in USD !? if so going for 6970 is really cheaper @@

such a high end cards only come with brands like alienware or sager? any other options available, as in malaysia?
