We do not have launch prices for both cards, so we cannot compare value. Check current listings for both.

Which one to buy

Choose the Intel Iris Graphics 550 (integrated) if you want the faster card, and you can accept 0 GB of memory. It makes the most sense at 1440p and above, or on a monitor with a high refresh rate.

Choose the Radeon HD 7750 if the price gap matters more than the 13% speed difference, and you value the extra video memory. Whichever you pick, check reviews for the games you play, because two cards with similar scores can differ in individual titles.
