Is there a big difference betwen the 930m and the 825m

Im gonna game on 720p.
If I go with the 825m this is the laptop MEDION Akoya P7632 (it has a bigger resolution and display).
If I go with the 930m this is the laptop TOSHIBA Satellite L50-C-18Q if I get this one I will upgrade the ram to 8gb

I use this website for a quick video card comparison http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php note what PassMark scores each card gets.

If you are getting these for playing newer games on, I'd avoid both. The starter gaming video card is the 840m/940m ones, and even that will only get you to low settings in newer games and even some older ones.

Whats is a better choice im was planning to play 720p and low-medium settings. and not the newest games. Is a bigger screen that better?

Can't really say that a bigger screen is better, depends on what you want in a system. I'd still go with a faster video card, or look around for one with the screen size you want with a faster card as well, although a faster video card with a 17" screen can be pricy.

I have a 17" laptop that's slower than ones I have with 15" screens and I would never pick to use the 17" one myself for games or crunching data like converting video. I would use it when wanting to watch a movie or have the kids look something up or for homework.

Hi, having had a laptop for some time with an entry GT 420M it's surprising how much gaming you can do on nVIdia's entry cards these days

Having looked at the specs for both, the 930m is a much more powerful gpu, being based on Maxwell (like the current desktop 900 series), rarther than Kepler (600 / 700 desktop cards).

Links to reports on both:
825m: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-825M.110063.0.html

930m: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-930M.139035.0.html

To give an example of the diff, 825m playing Battlefield 4 at 1366 x 768: 34.7 fps
930m same settings: 40fps.

That's a worthwhile difference, also keep in mind the 825m will struggle even more on a higher resolution display.
