    GTX 260m (By a lot)

    I don't know how the 240m and the 4650 stack up against each other, but the DDR2 RAM in the 220m kills it.

    GTX 260M is by far the best, it doesn't matter the order of the rest. The other three are all mainstream and it depends on the memory type. As an example 9600M GT GDDR3 > HD 4650 DDR2.

    Hello. Do I know you?


    On the game specs, I played them using an integrated Radeon 3200. Sure, the quality wasn't good, and I had to turn off almost all eye-candy, but it was playable.

    Yes, you heard me, I played Crysis on integrated graphics.
