The AMD Vision processors come with decent entry-level graphics. These cards are "on-board" graphics, or integrated graphics. The difference between an integrated graphics card and a dedicated graphics card (an actual card that you need a slot for) is that the integrated cards share vram with the processor/motherboard and a dedicated card has its own cache of vram. Another plus is that many dedicated cards nowadays come with their own cooling system.

The GPU that comes with the A6 processor is the Radeon HD 6530D. Here is some info on the card's performance: http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/...n%20HD%206530D You can find more reviews and videos about it through a Google search.

Crossfire is AMD's way of linking two of their graphics cards together to improve performance. Meaning, if you stuck a dedicated GPU in there, you could link it with your 6530D.

My laptop is an A8 processor which comes with a Radeon HD 6620G. Also in there is a Radeon HD 6750M. According to the chart at this link, they combine to the equivalent of a 6755G2.
