    Hi, I am going to buy a new laptop and while i am looking for laptops with a good graphic card but not very expensive I always find or Nvidia 8600 gs or Ati hd3470 (or 3450), what is better?? how big is the difference?? I know that http://www.notebookcheck.net has a good benchmark but in the ati card most of the results are missing...

    I was thinking in a samsung r70 with Nvidia 8600 gs....

    thanks a lot

    8600 is way better. The 3450 is on par with the 8400.
