I'm buying to play Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. The Gamer 913TR is $30 more than The Gamer 532TR. My questions are these:
1st) Is the Intel HD Graphics better than NVidia GT220? If not....
2nd) Which one performs the best (even if I have to get a 3rd party Graphics Card for the Intel) FPS/Speed/Multitask?
3rd) Can I put a 3rd party graphics card in the Intel? Do I have to turn off the I HD Graph in BIOS?
