    I've got the choice between these two cards..

    I'm building an HP zbook that is MAINLY an Autocad machine, but I DO play video games and would love to be able to use it for gaming ... Strengths and weaknesses of both cards?

    All I can see so far is that the Nvidia is $250 more as an option than the AMD/ATI..

    thoughs?

    yep, that's what I figured out as well... I went ahead and got it, at a cost of $250 less with the HP Zbook... but I also got the QHD 3200 res screen which will be great for my Autocad, but I'm worried how well it will work for gaming? I'm not so much expecting to play at those resolutions but rather more worried that the lower res 1900x1080 will look good...

    Are there more than 1 native resolutions for the 3200 screens?
