The Dell website is showing GT 435M instead of 425.
 Should be okay for medium or high detail. Ultra high I'm pretty sure will hailat  (my humble view) |

QUOTE(Currylaksa @ Dec 7 2010, 09:47 AM) Yeah... AMD/ATI got rickrolled by Blizzard for 5 years and counting. not just blizz, any games bearing the "THE WAY ITS MEANT TO BE PLAYED" = gg ATI/AMD lol lol at the massive gap between AMD and Intel/NVgenerally, ATI is still good, but you get less out of your card's actual performance, and/or driver/software bugs/issues etc with slower response on fixes etc. Added on December 8, 2010, 4:50 pm QUOTE(hidden830726 @ Dec 8 2010, 03:47 PM) because of logistic issue. imma prefer laptop. laptop im thinking the ATI 5 series, cheaper, and less heat/power consumption and performs better than nvidia and AFAIK, EVEN ON "the way its meant to be played" bullshit sc2/WoW  might want to look up benchies to make the final decision.
