I am buying an Asus K55VD laptop that comes equipped with an i7-3610QM processor and HD 4000 integrated graphics chip. It also comes standard with the underpowered nvidia geforce 610m. Based upon reviews and benchmarks I've read of the 610m and the hd 4000, it seems like they offer nearly identical performance.
My question is: Would turning on the 610m improve graphics performance (fps) in games appreciably or should I just run the integrated chip all the time?
ps: I was looking for a cheap mid-range product primarily for mobile office use, but also for some gaming. Therefore, suggestions to get a more gaming optimized system won't be helpful.
