Luz Camino Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I hope I'am posting in the right place if not I apologize an hope someone can direct me into the right place. I'm looking into buying a new laptop (yes I know laptops don't run as good as desktops on secondlife) so im told often. I also heard ATI cards aren't the best for SL either. But Im looking at 2 options for a laptop my only concerns are the video cards. I know for sure the rest of the specs exceed the min. requirements to run SL. the 2 video cards are AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M (64-bit) 512MB (Dual) and the other is NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 525M 1GB graphics with Optimus Im pretty sure I know my answer to that question. But I want to know if the first video card will at least run SL on Mid settings, I never go past mid settings even on my desktop. Any help would be appreciated thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leliel Mirihi Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Both chips can run on mid/high, but the GT 525M is faster. I say get the Nvidia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luz Camino Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 thanks for your reply sorta figured the nvidia would be the better choice usually is when it comes to SL but as long as the first video card will work, I think I will go with that one instead its saving me an extra 100-150 USD$.. as long as I can run mid settings without lagging at a serious rate im fine not having top of the line. thanks again much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveAngeL Lyre Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Between the 2 cards for me, choose the Nvidia. My laptop runs with a nvidia GT520M without problems so i can guarantee for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
