Is Discrete NVIDIA Geforce 625m good for gaming?

[Wiinner159]

I'm considering a new laptop for gaming and I found a good one with good specs from what I know of (and I know that they are good) I was wondering if Discrete NVIDIA Geforce 625m is good for graphics, I would like to play games like Bioshock 2 and Amnesia without problems and on high settings that look HD

Here's a page with some information about that card. I doubt you're going to get really great game performance out of it.

Thanks for your help, personally, I don't really care if it won't run on max graphics, I just want to play those games I listed, they don't work with my current laptop, but knowing what a better graphics card is would be helpful so if you know of any other good graphic cards for laptops could you tell me?

What is your budget for a laptop, and which laptops are you looking at? It would also be helpful to know the other specs you are considering.

Edit: Also, do you have some particular need for a laptop? I have nothing against them (I game on a laptop), but you can get a lot more performance per dollar out of a desktop, especially if you do your own build.

My max is about $700 and I don't really want a computer cause I carry my laptop around a lot I would need an i5 dual processor, at least 6 GB memory, around 750 GB hard drive, and Windows 8

The MSI has the best GPU; the Lenovo is the biggest & has the i7.

"Inexpensive" and "gaming laptop" don't really go well together. It's gonna be tricky to find one with great specs for that price.
