Nvidia vs AMD

what's best for gaming Nvidia 740M/840M 2GB DDR3 or Amd 8850m DDR5 2GB ??
According to notebooknetcheck AMD 8850M is even better than 750m. How's that possible as in most games 750m performs better.

I wanted to know this to compare two laptops Lenovo z510/z50 FHD vs Dell inspiron 15r. Both i7 versions. SO WHO'S THE KING IN THESE GUYS.
(P. S DON'T INCLUDE LENOVO Y510P, I KNOW IT'S BEST BUT IT'S TAD HEAVY AND I NEED PORTABILITY IN 15 INCHER)

The Dell Inspiron 15R suffers from driver issues. It's better to avoid it.

So z510/Z50 FHD cuz I have heard bad reviews about z50's screen although it's FHD. Even the z510 has problems like sharp edges and non removable battery.

Z510 has bad display viewing angles . Performance wise it is good as I don't care much about the display.

Z50 has a ulv processor i think but Z510(i5) has M processor. Mostly little performance benefits.

Also if u compare the i7 editions , Z510 has a quadcore cpu

For GPU : Both 740m and 840m are equally good in performance

I own a Z510 but never experienced the Z50

840m is based on maxwell architecture so it's definitely much better than 740m
Core i7 u is quad core too through hyperthreading.

why going for a 768p screen :confused:
Notebook check. Net reviews say z50 says z50 has really bad display and viewing angles. Hp has good looks and beats audio, Dell has Backlit keyboard. Dunno what to buy @60k.

Pops won't agree........ Newer brands. Just need a gaming laptop under 60k with nice bells and whistles. Any laptops with Backlit keyboard other than z510.
