    Which one do you think is better?

    I included the laptop manufacturers if you wanted to know about the specific models

    Lenovo Ideapad y570

    HP Pavilion dv6t

    well if the ideapad can't get above 1336x768 it will perform better on games just due to the lower resoluiton.

    the dv6t can get a 1920x1080 screen that's nice (but of course running at 1080p will lower your fps)

    can't really find much info about a comparison between the two cards when both have gddr5.

    If the GT 555M uses the 192-bit interface, then it would handily beat out the 6770M. If it uses the 128-bit interface, it will be around the same (depends on the game).

    GT555M equals HD6770M, sometimes there is little difference which depends on what is your requirement, GT555M is a little bit better. However, I don't think you can feel such an difference.

    The point is that GT555M in Y570 is a fake one, it is a reduced version and 6770 is surely better. DV6 with 6770 is a better choice. If you want a real GT555M, then choose DELL XPS 17.
