The AMD Radeon 4850 is a desktop card and when it came out was a fairly high end one. So it will have better performance.
The GT 630m probably has a few minor feature improvements, certainly uses a lot less power, but in terms of performance its going to be slower. Its a laptop GPU designed for the low end of things.
what about desktop gt 630 vs a radeon 4850 1gb version ?
im trying to prove something to a friend so i ask professionals to answer the question so he know which card is better
Oh did you mean a laptop 4850 the first time? Make sure you mention that its "AMD Radeon Mobility". Otherwise people will mix things up.
Anyways I checked in this case the Mobility 4850 is pretty much the same as the desktop one just a little slower. The Nvidia GT 630 is likewise the same because its a low power budget GPU. In either desktop or laptops the ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4850 will out perform the Nvidia GT 630.

The only thing the Nvidia GT 630 will really do better on is video playback and thats really just cause it will use less power.
