Radeon HD 6530D and Radeon HD 3800, which one is better? And by how much is it better, thanks and please explain :) also, what does the D stand for, that is why i don't see it as straight forward as it probably is...
 
Solution
d stands for Dedicated. you are probably looking at an amd cpu with integrated graphics
the integrated graphics will be better since its three generations newer
No idea. The 3800 is 4 generations ago (3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx), that doesn't mean it's slower, but I would bet money the 6530 is faster.

The 6530 will also be more efficient and work with DX11.

However if your gaming, I would recommend something much better than that crap like maybe a HD7750. The HD7750 is still low end, and it doesn't require much power supply.

What cpu and psu do you have and what is your budget for a video card?
