AMD Radeon HD 7500G Discrete Graphics and gaming

[aguyuno]

I had thought the 7500G was an integrated card, but this one on staples claims otherwise (exact link is here). So anyway, is this good for gaming? Why or why not? I don't necessarily need omg max settings but I'd like to have, you know, MEDIUM ones at least.

I need a postal code for that link . . .

I believe it's not a great card no ; http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-7500G.74861.0.html

Really? Crap, sorry.

Anyway the thing about that link is that, again, that one is integrated. The one I'm looking at claims it's discrete.

Due to a lack of benchmarks for the 7500G, I substituted it with the 7470M, which I believe has similar graphical prowess.

The 7500G seems to be slightly behind Intel HD 4000 in terms of gaming; we're talking 19 FPS in BF3 with every setting turned down as far as it will go (1024x720). Most likely the FPS will tank on anything more demanding than Minecraft, so I definitely wouldn't consider it a decent gaming solution.

Also, the link doesn't work because I don't live in Canada.

Close enough I guess. Thanks
