Confused about AMD graphic card

Omkar Nikte · Dec 16, 2015

Im about to buy a new laptop, I have lenovo G5070 in mind, specs are:
i7-4510U 4th gen. 2.0 to 2.6 GHz
AMD 2gb dedicated graphics
4gb ram
Im getting it for around $625

Im confused about this laptop bcoz it has AMD graphic card, and i have heard amd is nt suitable for high end gaming .so plz clear me out on this

Also, people say nvidia is best for intel processors and amd will give problem for high end gaming is it true?

Is there any other laptop in market which will fit my budget which is $650

That isn't the case. I generally prefer Nvidia graphics cards, but that doesn't mean that AMD graphics cards are necessarily inferior.

Here is this months " Best Graphics Cards for the Money". As you can see there is a mix of both types of cards.

Both Intel and AMD gaming motherboards (with three PCI Express slots) support both SLI and Crossfire. Motherboards with only two PCI Express slots generally only support Crossfire, but that is a limitation of PCI lanes not processor manufacturer. But there are more gaming motherboards with Intel processors though.

"Also, people say nvidia is best for intel processors and amd will give problem for high end gaming is it true?" This would be false. If you want to see how a mobile gpu will perform heres a link to a great site for mobile gpu benchmarks.

There are not many gaming laptops at that price point. I found this one at $600. I don't know that it is that much better. It does have a Nvidia GTX 950M.

As pointed out, AMD has plenty of cards that are "suitable for high-end gaming".

What you want to look at, however, are the mobile GPUs. Remember, you're talking about a laptop here, so the performance of a built-in laptop GPU (dedicated or iGPU) <> the performance of desktop dedicated GPU that can be swapped out for a different card. In this case, it's not enough to say "it's an AMD vs. an nVidia GPU"; you would need to know which one it is so that you can actually look at its performance.
