Which graphics card is better? NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS or Intel® HD Graphics 4000?
I know the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS is over 7 years old but its still a dedicated graphics card. So is it faster and better then the Intel® HD Graphics 4000? I hope not because I just ordered a new laptop with the Intel® HD Graphics 4000 installed.
These the specs of the laptop I just ordered (Dell Inspiron 17): Inspiron 17 laptop details | Dell UK
Processor
If I'm right the Intel® HD Graphics 4000 is a lot better then the NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS if that's the case then how much better is it? can the laptop I just ordered run games like call of duty black ops 2 or even battlefield 3? on lowest settings?
Sorry if the questions have obvious answers, I'm a noob at these things.
