I have been looking at getting a laptop soon so that I can game while at work. The games I play would include BF:BC2, Dragon Age, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: CoP, etc... I have been PC gaming with a desktop for... almost 20 years... I know about desktop harware but very little about laptop hardware. I tried finding a list of benchmarks for laptop GPUs, but failed. If you guys could help me put these mobile GPUs in order of power (or just link me to a list of current benchmarks) that would be just dandy.

260m, 330m, and Radeon HD 5650

I would assume that the 260m is the lowest so the main question is between the 330m and the 5650.

That is a somewhat confusing list... From that list, I think that the 260m is actually the most powerful with the 5650 in 2nd and the 330m in last. Huh...

It's not really confusing... If you click on the cards and scroll down a little bit you will see benchmarks for other programs and games.

The 260m is better though. The 5650 would be more like a 250 and the 330m is just that, a low end 300 series. The 5650 is BARELY above middle ground.

Well certain cards were missing benchmarks and when I filtered it to show the FPS of games it didn't provide the settings that the games were set to. Also, not really that sites fault, it was difficult to tell which laptops had a GT, GTS, and GTX. Had that site provided the cards specs (maybe it did and I missed it), I might have been able to tell.

It does show settings used and even the laptop that they were in if you mouse over the details and click on the FPS.
