i3+8750m vs. i5+7760m

Hi guys,

I'm planning to buy a new laptop, but there are two possibal configuration.

One is an i3 3310m with an 8750m 1 gb.
The other one is an i5 3210m with a 7760m 1gb.

Which do you think would be more suitable for gaming (Dishonored, Bioshock Infinite, maybe Far cry 3)? Both come with 8gb of RAM.

Neither of those are ideal for demanding games. The 8750M will get you about 2 - 7 FPS difference in most games over the 7760M, but the i3 is going to impact that, so the gaming performance difference will probably be negligible.

In that case I'll take the i5 one...

You'll get better overall performance in applications that don't require the GPU, so that's probably your best bet.
