is this good enough? my birthday is near c:

That GPU is absolute stuff...

That GPU is absolute stuff...
The "BuiltInGPU" or the "GPU?"

The dedicated GPU is pretty bad. I wouldn't expect much from it. It is at least better than integrated graphics, though.

The only good thing I see is the RAM

If you upgraded to AMD Radeon 7400G HD it will run max shaders but will lag at times.

I have that GPU (G210 1 GB) I can assure you that your better off with a 660 or at least 2 450's in SLI. The 210 can't run shaders at all without a large performance decrease.

According to video card benchmarks your 7400G is worse than the 6550D.

I'm still thinking, what yo guys recommend for a new dedicated GPU? Which is not expensive as hell.


A good one under $200 is either a GTX 650 or GTX 660. Go for either a GTX 660 Ti or GTX 760 if your willing to spend up to $300 tops.
