lol studio 15... Everyone recommends.

the higher the resolution, the more pixels the GPU need to render, and thus need more RAM...

that's the simplest way to explain it...

hmm.. there's not really a definete range...

few yrs ago, when we re at 1280x1024, even high end GPU also come with 256MB only...

so i would rather take a relative range, for today, there are roughly 3 markets, high-end (1GB), mid-end (512MB), low-end (256MB)

in terms of gaming, taking 1680x1050 and 512MB as the middle pt, any thing beyond that resolution and including it, 512MB-1GB. anything lower, 256MB-512MB

y low end card dun need so much RAM? mainly cuz they can't handle the high level of eye candy like AA, AF and stuff (all these stuff, the more u use, the more RAM needed as well), so y spend more money on RAM that u re not going to use?

some OEMs may use the RAM on a GPU as a selling pt... dun believe a bullshit abt that... if the GPU doesn't change, more RAM dun make much differences...

so i rather ve a more powerful GPU with less RAM, rather than a lousy GPU with more RAM...

again as i ve said, there's not really a definete figure...

but since we seldom see laptops come with 1680x1050, i would say 256MB is sufficient for low end cards (9300M GS, G 105M, HD 4570, HD 3470, etc), and for mid end card, 512MB (9600M GT, 9650M GT, GT 120M, GT 130M, HD 3670, HD 4650, etc)

the driver will do the job for you...

256 MB is sufficient because S42's screen resolution is only WXGA(1280X800).However, 512MB is normally needed for higher resolutions such as Full HD since the GPU can fully utilize its 512MB

Am i right or wrong?
