And yes, you are rich xD
I develop on an intel i7 3612QM + GTX675m.
A medium-high rig, so I expect my games to run on half that power.
So if my framerate divided by two is still acceptable on my machine, I consider my games fast enough for my audience.
I also make sure my textures aren’t too large for 3d games, though this is handled automatically when using engines like Unity, which is cool.
EgonOlsen: what GPU is that? Also what are your complete specs? 
You beat me slightly! I have Asus GTX 680 4gb card.
The first one I got, the ram supposedly failed after a day, screen went black, after restarting lines appeared on the screen. It took like a week and a half to get a new one in. I went from a GTS 250 1gb.
It’s a Geforce 680…some crazy overclock edition. I actually haven’t choosen it in the first place. It’s a replacement that i got from the shop after my former 680 was faulty. The rest is a Core i7 2600K @ 4Ghz with 16 Gb of RAM on a z77 based board (not the one in this picture, i’ve replaced it lately).
GeForce GTX 650 Ti for desktop dev. Does everything I need for now.
Nvidia Tegra 3 (Nexus 7) for Android =)
Using a Dell Latitude E5500 with a Intel® 4500MHD Graphics Accelerator. Yeah, not the best graphics card around…
I have an Nvidia GeForce GT 540M, runs any game I throw at it on at least 120FPS 
nvidia geforce 650m/intel hd 4000 (why is no one listing their integrated’s)
Mine was integrated.
My motherboard has some kind of integrated graphics, probably intel. Seeing’s how I have the 690, I don’t have a whole lot of use for the integrated. My hope is that someday GPUs will reach the level of soundcards where even most gamers are fine with the onboard sound, but integrated graphics has quite a ways to go before it gets close.
The nice thing about having an integrated graphics card as well as a dedicated one, is that if the dedicated ever craps out on you your computer isn’t fully out of commission. You can still boot up and use your computer, back things up, and do light weight computing/gaming while waiting for a new graphics card.
For a few extra dollars, I would definitely always consider getting a motherboard with integrated graphics just to have it as a fallback option.
As for me, I used to use an Intel GMA945 until last year, which is when I upgraded to an Intel HD3000. My tower has a Radeon HD 6770, but I use that computer more for art and processing than I do game design.
Radeon 7670m. I make up for it with my octocore i7 cpu though
In Australia a 8 core CPU (Intel Xeon E5 2650) is wroth $1295 and it is reduced to clear on the site I use to buy parts.
I think you have been lied to / misread the CPU, especially seeing as a 7670m is for laptops, I don’t think you will ever find a laptop with a Xeon CPU in it.
He’s probably referring to the 8 “logical cores” you get from hyperthreading on the four physical cores, common to all i7’s these days.
GeForce GT545
Can’t upgrade it, my power supply is minimum, motherboard is minimum and case is minimum, so if I want to buy a new graphics card I can better just build a whole new PC.
But my current CPU (and harddisk) will be in that new pc too, an i7-2600K…
I too have gotten a new graphics card.
NVidia GeForce GT 610M.
Got two new ones for SLI as well. NVidia GeForce GT 650M for both.
I feel so sad now. I have a laptop with intel 3000 hd GPU…
I’ll build my own pc… some day… :’(
