I did a comparison using deductions.
According to this
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Geforce-GT-425M.34152.0.html
the gt 425m is as powerful as a amd mobility radeon 5650m

While according to this
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card,2964-7.html

the mobility radeon 5650m is 6 tiers above the gt 520 which means the gt 425m is waaaay more powerful than the gt 520.
Is the gt 520 card you are talking about the desktop version or the laptop version?

The GT 520 is in a tower that I'm looking at; the Gt 425 is in an all-in-one computer.

Thanks for your help!
