TulsaGeoff Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Without a doubt, you will want a dedicated graphics card for playing games. Another one: http://www.flipkart.com/toshiba-satellite-c50d-a-60010-laptop-apu-quad-core-a6-4gb-750gb-win8-1-512mb-graph/p/itmdrcw4m66tdbyn?pid=COMDRCW4M66TDBYN&srno=b_1&ref=47c9cf68-b8b7-4d45-880c-e489c0a7d119 Looks like the AMD Radeon HD 8400 Graphics is an integrated GPU. You will want a discrete video card (seperate from CPU) if you want to do any gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hear that integrated is better than discrete . So actually its the other way round huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulsaGeoff Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 integrated is much worse than discrete. If you are playing any game or software that uses GPU power, you will be MUCH better off with a decent videocard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
