The AMD-FX series processors have a unique function of combining GPU and CPU power to perform heavy gaming tasks. Your graphic chipset, Radeon HD6530D graphics is dual graphics. The "D" stands for dual.

It will run Battlefield 3 on lowest settings, Skyrim on lowest settings and GTA 4 on lowest settings.

It will run perfectly without any lag when on lowest settings. To get some more performance, my advise is to purchase a better graphic card and power supply. Purchase something like a GTX 550 Ti and a 550W power supply to feed the graphics card and get outstanding graphical performance that can max out GTA 4, Battlefield 3 and Skyrim.

dont dwell on gta 4, its was a horrible port that needs way too much cpu power...my core 2 quad 2.66 had trouble with it, my i7 quad core 1.6 had trouble with it (ran better then the other one) my 8 core 4.2 can handle alright though

It is more than capable of running the game, believe me. Talking from experience.

If you have Steam, search the game and look at the minimum/recommended specs, and compare them to yours. If you don't have Steam, I highly recommend you get it as it is a free download and the best DRM out there. I believe it is good enough to play it on minimum at least, but don't take my word for it as I don't have Steam installed on this laptop. If all you are really worried about is playing GTA4, it is much cheaper to get an Xbox, But you would have to pay for Xbox Live, but you don't have to pay to play on servers with Steam, but you may have trouble with firewalls and program files.
