Graphics cards

[Matthew]

This is more of a one shot thread but I need to buy a new laptop tomorrow, I mostly play Hearthstone, FTL, and watch netflix, twitch, and YouTube on my laptop so is there a minimum graphics card I should watch out for or will all of them do it?

Assuming Hearthstone is some sort of 2D game pretty much all that shit will run fine on any laptop you can get your hands on nowadays.

Unless youre paying like less than $100 or something ridiculous. Any reasonably specced laptop will do all that just fine.

It's not a 2D game but I wouldn't call it graphics intense. Thanks!

Hearthstone runs on max setting in HD on any on-board current Graphics card nowadays. If that's the most resource intensive stuff you run then you don't really need a graphics card to be honest.

Hearthstone runs on ipads, you'd be fine with a run-of-the-mill integrated graphics card if that's the highest level of gaming you do.

That being said, if you can find a deal for a laptop without an integrated graphics card, dedicated is almost always better.
