How to choose gaming laptop with right Graphics for your demand?

Question

Most users buy a gaming laptop because of playing games, but do you have clear picture of these GPUs performance and comparison in mind before you choose it?
Here comes the check list about the GPU Pipeline(Cores) and memory info as below table, it's the key index related to the 3D benchmarks and gaming performance, and it's easier for all users to check if the GPU/Graphics performance is good or bad compare with last generation graphics.
Normally we know that GTX780M/770M is enthusiast level for ultra gaming, and GTX765M/760M is for high performance gaming, GT750M/740M is performance level HD gaming, but what's the gap and difference of these graphics?
Analysis about 3D Mark scores
For the 3D Mark Vantage, it's the benchmark reference based on DirectX10 effects and rely on more CPU performance. According to the score rated, performance level should over P7000 score, high performance level should over P13000 score, extreme performance level must over P18000 score. So you could see that GTX780M, GTX770M, GTX680M and GTX675MX were on the top of the enthusiast level graphics with great performance.
Then we look on the 3D Mark 11 tests, it's pure DirectX11 gaming performance test, more rely on GPU/Graphics performance, and less impact from different CPU, so you could see that 3D Mark 11 is more demand on graphics performance. Performance level need to over P2000 score, High Performance level need to over P3000 score, and to be enthusiast level will need to over P4000 score. Take a look on GTX780M, it's top performance and leading far from other graphics performance, GTX770M and GTX680M are also great to pver P5000 score as enthusiast level graphics. GTX765M got same score as GTX675MX, so you could see the improvement of the GTX7xx series from GT6xx series.
Same situation with 3D Mark Fire Strike, the latest benchmark program from Future Mark, it's also the heavy loading 3D test program of DirectX11 effects, so you could see the score was similar but lower to 3D Mark 11 P score results.
Then we look at AMD platform with GX60/GX70 series from MSI, it's all over P4800 score, so the gaming experience is really better than enough, and you could take it with Eynfinity mode as a gaming machine with 3 monitors surround view as well.
Something need to be noticed
There is a trap from different memory chip difference, we take a look on the GT750M with 2 columns, the top one comes with GDDR5 and below one comes with DDR3, you could see the GDDR5 version is over 10% faster than DDR3 version, that means 4GB is not help on the performance enhancement, please choose MSI GE series laptop with GT750M GDDR5 will be much better for gaming.
Another part, you could see both Intel embedded graphics HD4600 and AMD embedded graphics AMD8650G was faster than GT720M and GT630M, so anyone who wants to buy the laptop with GT720M/GT630M graphics or under, it's a kind of waste on the performance and price point of view, you rather to buy an UMA version laptop without low performance graphics to have less heat, lower power consumption and more battery life indeed.
Conclusion at last
Lets come out a performance summarize for your purchase reference.
MSI GT series with GTX780M/770M is the best choice for 1920x1080 Full HD resolution and ultra detail setup gaming experience. That's why professional gamers always buy MSI GT series with finest graphics!
Choose GE series or GS70 with GTX765M/760M is suitable for 160x900 HD+ resolution and higher detail gaming experience, if users wants to play with 1920x1080, must sacrifice the detail to become medium, for some heavy game titles even need to set low detail.
If you are not powerful graphics demand users, you could choose GE series with GT750M or GP series with 740M, is suitable for 1366x768 HD resolution and high detail gaming experience, or runs at 1600x900 with lower detail setup. Sometimes GT740M even need to adjust the detail become medium or low to make the game smoother to play in heavy loading games.
Remark: All benchmarks will have +-5% score range depends on different test status and conditions.

Answer 1

WOW ~ the most detail analysis I've ever see ,  gamers just follow the above expert's suggestion ,  you will buy excatly what you need !!! rocks !
- best enthusiast and ultimated gaming without budget limitation, just choose GT70/GT60 series
- gamers need super mobility should choose GS70 series
- the best cost/ performance ratio product should be GE70/GE60/GE40, or GX70/GX60 ( HD8970M also great for ultimated gaming)
- if you are on-line gamer or multi media professional expert, GE or GP series is also great for you
- GS is also great with super slim body, professional expert for movies and music studio must take into consideration...
