AMD A10 or inter core I5

[Awesomeguy2014]

So I have been researching laptops and looking up laptops that are affordable but can play games in low to medium settings.So I have been doing research on the CPU a lot and I have read that I should get an A10 CPU since it comes with a way better graphics card than Intelsat HD4000 graphics card.I was just wondering if this is true.

turn down the detail, run it in lower resolution, it a budget laptop.

The graphics are already the lowest and I can barely get 30 FPS

does it have a 1080p monitor? cause the a10 really can't game in 1080p

I'm really not sure where you get your information. The A10 and the 8650G can't play on high or ultra on almost any game. They do well with Steam games on medium to high on 1366x768, and that's about it.

As for 1920x1080 gaming on a laptop, it's more than doable. Hell, it's doable on 3k with the right graphics card. Anything GTX 850M or higher is well capable of playing any game at medium quality or better. The GT 755M SLI in the Lenovo Y510p can play Battlefield 4 even on Ultra and still be playable. High preferred, but still Ultra capable.

Especially the newest generation of Nvidia chips being released have been very well capable of cleaning up on any game on the market.

you probably need to read what i've wrote.

an A10 (desktop) can game (boarder-line) at 1080p with medium to low settings. An a10 laptop has a little less juice, and struggles mightily over 1600x900, though generally can tear up anything at 1366x768. Sure, some "gaming" laptops can manage 1080p, though you're exaggerating the situation a bit. The "best" laptop gpu is either a GTX 880m or HD 8970m; and both of those hover around the performance of a gtx660 or HD 7870 at 1080p.

Now both of those are capable gpus at 1080p... but they certainly won't max challenging games at that setting; and if they won't max challenging games on their highest settings in 1080p, then there is no way a 850M will do it. To game with maxed settings in 1080p on a laptop you probably need an SLi setup to pull it off.

I already did that but it still performs very poorly! Even some basic apps will hang sometimes and for example right clicking on the desktop to change wall paper can sometimes take a few seconds! I have 8GB of ram and an external hard disk also, is it possible that I got like a faulty laptop?

sounds like bad drivers... try re-installing all your AMD/chipset and graphic drivers, clean install of th graphic drivers. (uninstall them, restart the computer, install the NEWEST available)

But I've been playing all my games in 1366x768 and still have the very horrible lag, this is even on the lowest settings! And how do I get rid of all the old drivers and install the new ones?
