    It is a low end card of the current generation, it can play the games you mentioned, although u might have to run them at 800x600 with low details to get decent framerates.

    If you are serious about gaming, at least get a hd4650 or above.

    It's pretty much on par with a 3650, so don't expect much from it. The 3650 is a little better. If you want something that will play games well, get something like a 4650 or even a 4570 if you are on a budget.

    The 4330 is about twice faster than my 3450, and NFS Shift is absolutely unplayable on the 3450, so on the 4330 is probably going to be barely playable at very low settings... You can't upgrade a 4330 for a faster card in the future, so get a faster card now.

    Yes get a card above the 4650.. games will get better over the monthes to come so a good GPU is a must for a serious gamer.. With this new platform coming out I am sure the previous generation laptops will be dropping in price.. So a gaming notebook wont cost you an arm and a leg..
