Hello guys, I saw this graphics card at my friend's http://www.geforce.com/hardware/note...force-gt-520mx, so I wanted to know, is it good for a laptop, would it work good on it and is it good for games like GTA (IV for example), Dota 2 and absolution etc. Thank you.

I believe that is a notebook card so it wouldn't work with PCs.

Get a 700 series card when they come out, for GTA IV you should get a modern i5 CPU, you might just about manage with an i3.

I would recommend the GTX graphics card and not the GT

GTA4 does not work very well with dual cores. Quad core CPUs work much better.

What is most important when choosing a new nvidia card, take GTX 670 for example.

6 = generation 7 = indicates performance. A GTX 570 is faster than a GTX 650.

Nice information there.
But what about the 9600 for example?

That's a pretty low end card too, and I mean low end for everything not just gaming. Apparently you can run GTA IV on mid-level with it, not at 1080p though.

The 9600 was considered a "mid-range" card when it was released, the 9800 was the "high-end" card of the 9x00 series. The 9600 wasn't a bad card, but the 8800GT/GTX was faster.
