Hello,

I'm basically interested in buying a new laptop and i've narrowed it down to 3 of them in my price range.

i think i3 is better but dont know if it will change things much more.

However, i've come to a stale mate. I have to choose between these 3 configurations:

1) i3 3110M processor 2.40GHz, ATI Radeon HD8570 2Gb graphic card, 4Gb Ram
2) pentium B960 processor 2.20GHz, ATI Radeon HD8750 2Gb graphic card, 4Gb Ram
3) pentium 2020M processor 2.40GHz, nVidia GeForce GT 720M 1Gb graphic card, 4Gb Ram

is HD8570 much better than HD8750 or GT 720M?

I'm mostly gonna be using the laptop for gaming and basic other activities. The games i'd be interested in are: GTA4, Grid2, NFS.., MMORPGs such as Guild Wars 2, and games like Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Dota 2 and the ocassional high-end shooter like Crysis 3.

Thanks in advance.

None of these options will get you good gaming performance in any of those games. That said, the first option is your best bet out of those in your budget that you listed. The 8570 is comparable to the the 8750 and both outscore the 720M in Passmark's benching.

You will not be able to play Crysis 3 on any of these laptops.
