Intel HD 4000 Graphics

twerg_85 · 2013-04-14 19:28:08

Hi, first off thanks for all the info and replies, very useful. I have a choice between i5-3210m with inbuilt Intel HD4000 or i3-3110m with GeForce GT 620M. If I'm not gaming, is the i5 the better option. I'd be watching movies etc. so don't think I need the extra graphics card ? F.

In some benchmarks, HD 4000 is even faster than a GT 620M, which IMHO is a waste of money and battery power, a sales pitch, "Wow, Nvidia graphics."
