Hi!!

I'm looking to buy a new laptop (no, i don't want to buy a desktop, i need a laptop :matte-motes-sarcasm: ) but i don't know which of these videocards to choose::

 

- NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M with 2 GB DDR3

or

- AMD Radeon HD 7670M with 2 GB DDR3

 

The 2 laptops are similar specifications more or less (Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, 1 TB sATA 5400 rpm).

I use to have running, Second Life (Firestorm), Maya, Photoshop and Chrome together

- Are good to run Second Life in High or Ultra preferences without problems?

- Wich one is better for Second Life?

I don't know where to ask about Second Life performance with these cards.

I have found this table of notebook/laptop video cards(http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html), and is now the only reference i have. According to this list both are in the Mid-range graphics cards but NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M is in the position number 135 and AMD Radeon HD 7670M  is in the position number 128 of the rank (7 positions above nvidia gforce).

Please , help me  :catembarrassed:

Thanks!!!!!

Either should work OK, but I would not expect good performance on Ultra.  My personal preference would be for the Nvidia card, as they generally have better OpenGL support.
