Graphics Cards on Laptop

Solution
For some reason I cannot access that Amazon link. The one on Newegg should be more than fine. Dual graphics cards means double the graphics performance...at least sort of. There is a bit of a scaling issue when using dual GPUs (you are most likely not going to get exactly double the performance). You should see roughly a 75%-90% boost in graphics performance when going with a 2-way SLI setup. Take this for instance: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-750m/performance

You could be looking at roughly a 12x, or slightly lower, relative performance score versus the HD 4000, which is Intel's onboard graphics present in their CPU. A single card, as illustrated in the link above would net you a 6.3X score vs. the HD...

All in all, you should be able to play games fine with that laptop. Although, you will not be able to max out settings on most new games.
