Nowadays NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel are the only three laptop graphics card manufacturers in the market. NVIDIA and AMD focus on discrete graphics cards, while Intel mainly specializes in integrated graphics cards for laptop processors. As we all know, integrated graphics cards usually have low performance. At present, NVIDIA has dominated the laptop graphics card market, while AMD occupies a lower share of the market compared with NVIDIA. Now, let’s have a look at the best laptop graphics card ranking list. For users who plan to make their first purchase on the laptop, our best laptop GPU ranking list will be of good help.
For the user who intends to buy a laptop with a graphics card for a computer game, a laptop with a GeForce 1000 series graphics card will be a good choice. If the user needs to use the laptop to play the game, such as Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, which has high demand on the graphics card, then a laptop with GTX1050Ti or higher version will be good.
However, if the user only needs to play common 3D online games like CF and Lol, then a laptop with AMD series graphics cards like MX150 and MX130 can satisfy such requirements. Even the UHD620/HD620 integrated graphics card from Intel’s processor can basically meet the demand.

2018 laptop graphics card purchase tips
Since NVIDIA is now the main manufacturer in the laptop graphics card market, we will first take NVIDIA graphics card into consideration. This year, NVIDIA’s new generation GTX1000 series graphics cards, including GTX1080, GTX1070, GTX1060, GTX1050Ti, and GTX1050, are good choices. But if you aren’t satisfied with the price, you can choose relatively cheaper NVIDIA graphics cards, including GTX980M, GTX970M, GTX965M, GTX960M, and GTX950M. As for AMD, at present, its graphics card in the market is the old generation graphics card, which has poorer performance than NVIDIA’s graphics card in terms of framework and power consumption. Therefore, laptops coming with an AMD discrete graphics card are not common in the market.
