Yesterday i went to research Gaming Laptops come with GTX960M, until i still don't have any solution which one is better for gaming. Do you guys know what's different with 4GB DDR5, 2GB DDR5, 2GB DDR3?? Is it same performance and come many version? cause my budget just around RM5kl only... hmm.gif

Actually GTX-960M is not really enough if you want to set all games with the highest Ultra Setting.

Recommended source for GTX-970M (6GB edition) which around 60 to 70% faster than GTX-960M.

For RAM wise, I read somewhere 2GB is not really enough for certain new graphics intensive games.

well..if u have 2GB of vram..u cant for example..for certain games..u cant set some graphical settings to high..let alone ultra...newer games are getting more vram intensive...thus is better to hv 4GB compared to 2GB of vram...

but if u dont mind playing on high + med settings...2GB should be enuf for u...if u aim for for 60fps...u might want to reduce in game resolution to 1366 x 768...rather thn 1080p..

Mostly these VRAM are used for texture filtering and rendering, VRAM hungry games such as crysis 3 has huge terrain (geometry, vegetation...etc) will need you to equip a gpu with greater memory.

dont think you can notice much difference bro unless you are gaming at ultra high settings.
the ram used to preload renders and textures but in this case 960M is better for FHD gaming at high settings so 2GB dah cukup

The reason why I suggest GTX 970M if you want to play games in Full HD Ultra Setting.

Price-performance wise, GTX970/970M certainly does its job too! However, my suggestion is to wait for this year's nvidia pascal architecture GPUs (if TS can wait for several months more).

There is a no ending wait. The 900 series just start flooding market, don't think so soon even after announcing.

Do not buy the DDR3 version, they'll be much more performance penalty compared to 2GB vs 4GB. In fact, the 2GB is quite enough for the 960M today because setting graphic quality higher which requires 4GB, and you're still bottleneck by slow GPU core.

Suggestion:
Dell Inspiron 15 7559 RM3699
+ 256GB SSD SATA & 4GB RAM RM700
Total RM4400.
