I'm just looking for a list of 10 - 15 cards that could playing some higher end games on medium to low. Crysis on low, things like that. What would it take in a laptop to do that?

The most powerful integrate video card is the Mobility Radeon HD 3200 which is basically a revamped Radeon HD 2400 desktop video card.

See following review:

You mean video CARD right? Integrated = on chip or motherboard etc, not discrete.

Set a budget and look whats availavle in your price range, or post what you can afford ;)

X1950pro will run any game on low, most on medium settings at reasonable fps.

 

I was playing The Witcher on an old 6000+ athlon x2 and an x1950pro. It wasnt great, but it ran and was very playable. There is practically no excuse to have a pc with worse graphics than that nowadays considering you can pick one up for $20 on ebay if you try hard enough.

X1950pro will not fit in a laptop.

erm you buying the whole laptop for that or just the chip?

Is the lowest priced laptop I'd even consider for gaming from newegg. You could probably play on the 9600GS but that's like half a 7800GT for comparison.

Just the laptop, im just really confused on which graphics cards will be able to play stuff. For example I don't know if a Radeon HD 3200 is a good card or not lol. I know you have to look at the bits in a video card and the memory but thats about all i know haha.

Here are the stats for the 9600M GS

Stats for Radeon 4670M

You can more than double your performance if you buck up the extra $100. Crysis will be playable at medium, maybe even high in some areas on the 4670.
