    will this graphics card be good for me?

    I'm looking at a laptop that has a 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530.

    I would be wanting to play games such as WoW, Civ 4, and Americas Army 3.



    I know this card is not good for serious gaming, but would it perform well with the games I mentioned?

    I believe that card can run those games.
    Most likely on low settings though.
    Dont expect much out of that card.

    I say Civ 4 will run for sure, at ultra super max high. WoW scales pretty well, so it should be fine. I don't know about AA3.

    Probably playable but all on low settings, if your interested in that amount of gaming you may want to look at a slightly stronger card, maybe like HD4650 etc.
    Goodluck
