Which Graphic card?

[Ankur]

1. NV GT335M 1GB DDR3 VRAM
2. Nvidia®GTX 460M 1.5G DDR5 VRAM
3. ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 5870, 1G GDDR5 VRAM
4. Nvidia® GeForce® GT 130M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM
These are all mobile, in 4 different ASUS laptops, please suggest me which graphic card is good? doesn't matter if you are a noob like me, just vote on it.

GT 130M is horrible and not good for gaming. So, you should avoid that

You should get either GTX 460M or HD5870 which are the best out these video cards.

I'm not sure if mobile HD5870 is faster than GTX 460 because mobile HD5870 is basically underclocked HD5770. So, it would perform worse than desktop version of HD5770

While GTX 460M is based on the same GPU as desktop version of GTS 450, but have larger bus (192-bit vs 128 bit for GTS 450).

So, GTX 460M might be as fast if not faster than mobile version of HD5870

But the main Gaming laptop has the GT 130M and what about GT335M?

GT 130M is horrible. It can not play any modern game at reasonable settings.

GT 335M should run most of the modern games at medium settings, as long as the resolution you play at is not over 1366 x 768

Like I said before GTX460M and HD5870 is better than any of these two. Also, could you give us the full specs of the gaming laptops you plan to buy ?

All are ASUS laptops, I will be using for gaming, internet, college, work. Need only one out of them.
Sorry they are not ordered properly, I just copied them from their website.

I would suggest G53Jw or maybe G73Jh if you prefer larger display. Those two are the best for gaming, and much better than other laptops you listed

 

[Ankur]

Am also tied to these laptops and specially NX90Jq because of its aluminium finish and 18 inch display, will it support hardcore gaming, specially for 5 years?
I don't mind having the laptops you mentioned, but this one has got some good looks.

Either chose the hd5870 one or the gtx460, the benchmarks i've seen put the two pretty close to each other.
The other laptops should be pretty mcuh forgotton about if your looking to play games.
