Mobile video cards are different than desktop cards. They are usually not upgradable, aren't as powerful, and they typically have limited dedicated VRAM; rarely do you find a mobile with more than 1GB of VRAM. Since mobile users are usually stuck with what the laptop comes with in terms of video card, it is very important to purchase a laptop with a sufficient card to handle your intended gaming purposes and settings.

Since mobile users are usually stuck with what the laptop comes with in terms of video card, it is very important to purchase a laptop with a sufficient card to handle your intended gaming purposes and settings. You can even find laptops with SLI/CrossFireFX setups, and there are companies which make laptops specific to gaming needs. Some of these companies include: Alienware (Dell), Asus, Eurocom, Falcon Northwest, Samsung, and there are many others. However, expect to pay no less than $1,500 and some can cost higher than $5,000. The price of being mobile isn't cheap! | ||
