By the way I also do video editing on my computer.

Computer #2 is the winner for gaming.

Overall the Core i5 3570K is the more powerful CPU, but that really isn't a factor because both CPUs are strong enough for high-end gaming- neither will be a bottleneck for high-end graphics cards. And it's the graphics card that's most important in gaming builds. In most titles roughly 70% of your in-game fps are determined by your GPU model, not your CPU. And that's where there's a huge disparity- the GTX 770 is even better than the GTX 680!

For video editing it's about a wash- the FX-8350 has more cores which is very beneficial for editing software like Sony Vegas, but the i5 3570K has stronger per-core performance and Intel's quick sync feature which greatly improves transcoding. Anyway they trade off- in some editing tasks the FX--8350 wins, in others the i5 3570K wins. Both are capable, arguably a slight edge to the Core i5. But on the gaming side it's a mismatch because of the GPUs.

Is My Graphics Card Bad (2013)?




Jess


I have a Fujitsu laptop that's almost 2 years old. I can't play many online video games that I would like to (such as Tera), and even the ones I can play lag horribly unless I have the graphics on the lowest settings. I want to know If I should give up hope on this laptop and save for a new one, or if I can maybe fix it... With something else? o-o

Added Note: I can run Tera, but it must be on the lowest graphic settings and it still lags a bit with that.

My card is: Intel(r) graphics media accelerator HD
Memory size for the card is 1722MB

Specification is: Intel(R) Core i5 CPU M 480 @ 2.67GHz

Please and thank you ^^

Thomas Edison has a better graphics card than you buddy. Your best bet is saving up for a nice new gaming PC. Go about 600 dollars on it, and I promise you, you can play any game on Low-Med graphics. Newegg.com bro.
