Class 1

High End Graphics Cards – These cards
offer the best 3D performance in a laptop. They
can handle all the latest games at high
resolutions and high detail settings. The power
consumption of these GPUs is very high,
therefore, only big laptops with bad battery
life usually offer these cards.
