| Hi, I was just wondering what actually controls the "FPS" in the computer. I've gotton a couple of machines, one with Intel Core i5 and Intel HD Graphics @ 2.30GHz and the other with a AMD Radeon HD 6770M and Intel Core i7 @ 2.8GHz. I had been running Medal of Honor Airborne on the i5 and get lag, Should the i7 be any faster with the Radeon? Thank You! |

| It's a combination of all factors. However, since both of those components are better than the other computer, it seems like a safe bet that it will perform better. Of the two though, in modern games the graphics card is far and away the most important factor. |

| And when it comes to graphics cards, there are *massive* differences -- a high-end card can have literally thousands of times the horsepower that a low-end integrated graphics chip does... And price/performance doesn't scale linearly, a graphics cards that's twice the price can be dozens of times faster. |
