Laptop graphics cards

Comparing the performance of two graphics cards is not an easy task, because any given card can be faster in some tasks and slower in others. But, trying to take several benchmarks and specifications into account, I have made a classification system from 0 to 5 points. It is a very general approximation: if you want actual performance data, have a look to the graphics cards tables at Notebookcheck, open the description of the card and look at the individual benchmarks.
