Graphics cards for laptop computers aren’t a major selling point for most people, your average Intel graphics card such as an Intel GMA 4500HD is enough to handle video playback and handle anything but gaming for the most part and it’s becoming as such with netbooks as well; but there are so many out there available but why; and which one to choose?

If you’re looking for a gaming laptop, you’re going to need to be spending a lot more money on your laptop to as if you weren’t, with high end graphics cards being responsible for the majority of the price of the laptop in some cases and there is even the option of running two graphics cards in one laptop for the really serious mobile gamer.

A typical graphics card you will find in a laptop that will provide more power than an Intel alternative is the Nvidia GeForce GT 420M, a low powered graphics card that will allow you to play a wide range of games on medium settings but will give you no chance of playing the super graphics intensive games such as Crysis or Call of Duty.

The price of graphics cards seems to increase exponentially as they become more powerful, with the price to power ratio becoming less favourable to the consumer. Another important thing to remember when choosing a graphics card for your laptop is that the mobile version of any graphics card will pale in comparison to its desktop counterpart; if you want to know what kind of performance you should expect from whatever you purchase, a good website to reference to is www.notebookcheck.net.
