I am planning to buy laptop Core i3 5005U with AMD R5 M330 Graphics card preinstalled. Would this graphics card help improve laptop performance than integrated graphics card? Also what sort of games can I play with this R5 Card?

Please help explain.

for your usage i would suggest going to a laptop with 8gb of ram,but you can upgrade it along the way, my secondary pc with 4 gigs is running fine but 8 is better, and yes that R5 would be better than the HD 5500, just make sure the switchable graphics setting is selecting amd by default and is on the high performance mode for the card

the R5 M330 reminds me of a R7 240, the intel igpu is ok for light gaming and for the R5 M330 its "okay" if you are just looking for playable fps at med-low settings at 720P, in theory its on par of a R7 240, you might want to look up gameplays about that card to get an idea of what performance you might get

Thanks for your answer but apart from games, does this card otherwise help improve overall performance of laptop? Like watching HD videos, multitasking -MS Office, Adobe Reader, Browsing, etc at the same time?

So, It means, I am good with Intel Core i3 with 4 GB RAM and 2 GB R5 M330 Graphics Card, as per my usage. Lastly, Is my laptop going to perform better in terms of laptop with Intel HD 5500 Integrated Graphics?
