AMD laptop apu graphics

[almoststew1990]

I asked this on the laptop forum but didn't get a reply so I thought I'd ask here. I've noticed most netbooks are the same- similar iterations of Intel atoms + intel graphics. However I found one which is an AMD e450 dual core 1.65GHz + AMD 6320. So basically, which is better for gaming? I will be using it for internet browsing, msn, light gaming like vice city, Sims... I have my Sig desktop for real gaming, so I am not expecting much from the netbook. Thanks!

i would say the amd would be better,Netbooks are horrible for gaming though so i wouldnt even bother.My Gf has one..intel atom,can play some older titles ok..diablo 2 warcraft 3 it even runs wow....15 fps lol.The AMD intergrated gpu's dpo tend to perform better though.Save up and get a laptop?

Those APUs are far better than Atoms graphics wise, but that's hardly saying much. I imagine Vice City would play fine (it's just about passable on Atom+Intel GPU), never played the Sims though

The AMD chip will be a lot better and should run those games.

You can use k10stat to overclock the APUs as well: https://sites.google.com/site/k10stat/

The CPU part of my APU in my laptop was holding down the dual graphics...
