Default Laptop Graphics Cards Ranking List

Before making a purchase of a new laptop that you want to use for gaming, you might want to have a look at this list and some of the benchmarks posted at Notebookcheck: Comparison of Graphic Cards. Because once you purchase a laptop, there is not much, if any thing, that you can do about upgrading it's video card.

Ranked from Best to Worst via GPUs.

Class 1 High End Graphics Cards
These cards are compareable to enthusiasm desktop graphics cards, like the 9800M GT. The cards have a similar core, as their desktop counterparts, but are clocked lower and often have less shader processors. Modern games like Age of Conan, Race Driver Grid, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, or Gothic 3 should run fluently with high details (Crysis should run in medium to high details).

» GeForce GTX 280M SLI
» Mobility Radeon HD 4870 X2
» GeForce GTX 260M SLI
» GeForce 9800M GTX SLI
» GeForce GTX 280M
» GeForce 9800M GT SLI
» GeForce 9800M GTS SLI
» Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2
» GeForce 8800M GTX SLI
» Mobility Radeon HD 3850 X2

» GeForce GTS 250M
» GeForce GTS 160M
» GeForce 9800M GTS
» GeForce 9800M GS
» Mobility Radeon HD 4830
» GeForce GTS 150M

Class 2 Midrange Graphics Cards
These cards should be able to display all current games with fluent framerates but not all with high detail settings. Especially demanding games like Crysis, Age of Conan, or Mass Effect are only playable with lower settings. Less demanding (and older) games, like Fifa 08, Command & Conquer 3, or Battlefield 2142 can be played with higher detail levels.

Class 4 Barely Games-Capable
Most not fastidious current games can be played fluently. Prepare for reduced graphical persentations due to low detail settings and low resolutions. Still, these cards provide enough performance for office tasks or video viewing (inconclusively for HD videos).

» Mobility Radeon X1300
» GeForce4 4200 Go
» Mobility Radeon 9600
» Mobility FireGL T2
» Mobility Radeon 9550

» GeForce Go 6200
» GeForce FX Go 5700
» Quadro FX Go 1000
» GeForce FX Go 5600 / 5650

Class 5 Low End Graphics Cards
Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

» Radeon Xpress X1270
» Radeon Xpress X1250
» Radeon Xpress 1250
» Radeon Xpress X1200
» Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100

» Mobility Radeon 7500
» Mobility FireGL 7800
» Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900
» Radeon Xpress 200M
» Radeon Xpress 1100

Class 6 Unsuitable for Games
These graphics cards for notebooks are not suitable for games. If they run, they may run with graphical errors and very low frame rates. For gamers these chips are not suitable! Office and internet tasks are, to the contrary, no problem for these GPUs.

» Mobility FireGL 9000
» Mirage 3+ 672MX
» Mirage 3 671MX
» Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 500
» GeForce 3 Go
» GeForce 2 Go (200 / 100)
» Mobility Radeon 9100 IGP
» Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP
» Mobility Radeon M7
» Mobility Radeon M6
» Mobility Radeon 7000 IGP
» Chrome9 HC
» Extreme Graphics 2
