AMD Radeon HD 6720G2 - Notebookcheck.net Tech
"The AMD Radeon HD 6720G2 is the combination of a integrated AMD Radeon HD 6520G APU processor graphics card and a dedicated entry level AMD Radeon HD 6650M graphics card in CrossFire combination. It is called AMD Dual Graphics or asymmetric CrossFire and uses AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering) to render different frames on the two graphic cores."
Benchmarks for the 6720G2, unfortunately it only functions under DX10/11 and typically results in little boost even then, while dragging down (beyond single-GPU levels) performance for DX9 titles (it can be disabled to use the discrete GPU only which is faster): Benchmark Results: Crysis 2 : The AMD A8-3500M APU Review: Llano Is Unleashed
YES, it will play this game, and that game. It will play every game.
I dont play any game
Just liked the specs
Was searching for a good laptop since last one month
It uses a 1 4GB Samsung DDR3 RAM PC3-10600. Just have to get another ram and put it in. 2 slots, 1 empty slot.
It had a major banding issue which got sorted out today by BIOS update
Some grain is there but nothing major
People have overclocked and then has been compared to i5 sandy bridge with a graphics card
So can understand the number crunching power it has
I have been tracking it from 7 Aug when it came out
Its specific to Best buy
Not sure about Indian warranty
had called up Asus India they had no idea
But i am ready to take the risk
Most of info is from this thread
Not most all

This NY tax is a killer
I had asked both ICC and SNS to give a address except NY
But both dont have
Both apu and gpu can be overclocked easily
