    Please compare these graphics cards for heat generated

    Looking at buying a laptop not necessarily to run video games, but will once in awhile play them on lower settings. I am more concerned about heat generated. What is the comparison for heat between these cards, or is there any difference??

    ATI Radeon HD4530
    ATI Radeon HD4570
    ATI Radeon HD4650
    Standard Intel X4500HD

    Again not really looking at video power but a decent comparison for how much heat will be generated from normal use by these cards..Thanks

    Thanks for the link, the 4530 and 4650 would be going in an HP DV7T and the 4570 and HD4500 in a Toshiba P505 18.4". The CPU's are just your standard T6600 core 2 duo. If I go the DV7T route hopefully the cooling design works altho either combo won't be a huge heat maker. The Toshiba seems to handle the heat well, but again neither much of a heat generator. So unless really stressing them should be OK I would imagine....
