OIC THANKS FOR THE INFO

I just read an article that stated 860m 2gb is maxwell based and 4 gb is kepler based...where 2 gb maxwell still performes better than 4gb kepler..

As asus g551jm.. I not sure 860m 4gb is kepler based or maxwell based... There are somewhere saying there r also maxwell 4gb gpu..

As 860m has already been out for a while. A maxwell 4Gb vRAM isnt that impossible. As shown by the link even the Kepler has 2Gb variant. To be sure call them up to ask or go to a store to check by asking to install some third party system check and check the GPU model name.

GM107 (Maxwell) and GK104 (Kepler)

Most probably the recent release uses the maxwell architecture.

EDIT : G551 4Gb variant is using the maxwell. Provided it is the same model as sold in Malaysia.

Well well.. . Now I really need to check with the store either their 2gb is maxwell or kepler.. And i do hope they could order the 4gb maxwell one soon..
Or i might just go for msi ge62

If i were you. I would choose the MSI GE62 because of better cooling system. The Asus CPU temp will go up to 90 celcius+. Will be linking you to the review.

But in the end, it is your choice buddy. Happy hunting.

Oh, i see. GE62 got 960m? Did you check properly not the GE60 (Old model and heating issues).

Yup.. Its ge 62.. Ge62 2qd model..

, cant seem to find your model selling in Malaysia. Other than that with GE62, you can't go wrong with it. , though don't know much about the after sale service.
