Radeon m260?

[Gilgamesh21]

Hello,

 So I am abit confused about buying the HP Pavilion 15-p053no . The specs are the following:

-15,6" 1366x768
-AMD Quad A10-5745M
-RAM: 6GB DDR3L
-Hårddisk 750GB
-AMD Radeon R7 M260

I am interested in running games like bf4 or bf3 and far cry 3..etc but Unfortunately I could not find much about the M260 and its performance ( some guy posted a youtube video on battlefield 4 but it was not enough). I looked it up at notebookcheck.com but it showed that battlefield 4 could not be ran on that gpu(shows 0,0,0,0 fps). There were no information for battlefield 3.

I had another laptop with an nvidia GT 630M ( 128 bit mem bus width) which was able to run battlefield 3 on high settings with AAx1 on 1366x768 ( playing was smooth even in multiplayer).

What I would like to ask is:
- Will the m260 give a decent performance even if its memory bus width was only 64 bit and not 128 bit ? Is it going to be better than the nvidia GT 630M?

Thank you

Info online suggests that its rather weak for gaming... http://www.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/AMD+Radeon+R7+M260/review

Looks like a nerfed desktop R7 250, with a 64 bit memory bus and lower clocks.
The M260 should be better than the 630M but it's still not designed for high end gaming, it's a midrange laptop card at the end of the day.  What CPU is in your laptop with the 630M?

Well i am not sure the m260 will perform better than my 630m as it has 64 bit bus width only

The CPU was an intel I5 2.25 ghz.

Bus width is only part of the story, the M260 is still a faster card although not orders of magnitude better.
Be aware the CPU in your OP is a fair bit slower than a mobile i5 though which will affect performance, you may find especially in games like BF3 which are quite CPU hungry there may not be much difference in performance even with the slightly faster, newer GPU.
