Dude, I don't mean no harm what so ever with your authority, but you don't know what you're talking about (or this GPU is beneath you and you just blurted out something to be of help). I have played every big title game to date on medium, high or custom setting on the 6490m. The biggest drawback [the problem] of the GPU is its lack of horsepower to run games in high resolutions. Owners of the GPU if they can handle playing games at 1366x768, 1280x720 (720p) they'll be ok. This GPU will never be in a benchmark running, far from being a Beast, and mediocre at best. Sometime "Technical Specs" can be tricky, and mind you when I made this post Im currently playing Crysis 3, Splinter Cell Blacklist, NBA 2k14, BL2, and Far Cry 3, and Total War : Rome 2 all on med-high setting just at 1360x768, and sometime I go all out and get a little fancy and throw some 4xMSAA in the mix. And still output 27-45fps. All in all it a decent "chip" for the price, but I do recommend anyone to upgrade ASAP, especially if you're a Eye-Candy Junkie like me. I have a 47" 240hz 3d smart TV and playing at those res are hurting. But the 6490m WILL get you by and gaming for awhile (stay away from GTA 4 and Witcher 2 though..lol)
