    Which graphics card is better? I just wanted to double check. I believe it's the 765M is that correct? it says so according to GPU Benchmark. But when I google it it says the 860M is better.

    I would just think that the higher number graphics card is the better.

    Can anyone verify with me and why?

    860M is better, significantly better when overclocking is involved

    That website is worthless. Avoid these like the plague:
    Pass(Fail)Mark
    CPU Boss
    GPU Boss

    This is better: 860M vs. 765M

    And as mentioned, 860M pulls away when overclocking is added to the equation since it has more headroom than 765M. See here for example.

    Yes it's a newer arch that may not be as good in terms of compute, in games however is a LOT more efficient.
