Which featues of graphic cards are important?

Anonymous

Hello. I'm currently looking for a laptop for myself, and I'm wondering which features of graphic cards are most important for ArchiCAD, 3DMax and Photoshop? I've read on the ArchiCAD Wiki that generally good gaming cards may be not so good for ArchiCAD (gaming cards process lots of polygons quickly, while ArchiCAD creates less polygons, but in higher quality).

I guess processor, number of cores and RAM are also important (in what order?)

I'm thinking about those two: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-8750M-vs-GeForce-GT-740M
or maybe Radeon 8850M?
Which of those features should be most important for me?

Thanks in advance!
Miki
