3gb Gpu?

Sounds perfectly reasonable does that mean it cost you minus $300 lol

 

As i suggest, most of the games today don't use above 2 GB VRAM, so I suggest go for 2GB DDR5 graphics card...

you can think of Xbox360 or Ps3, they only have 256MB of VRAM and games ran better then PC...

Hope it helps...

 

Seriously there are a ton of topics arguing between the 1.5 GB and 3 GB, OP should have searched for those first

 

I heard that the extra vram makes you laptop heat up more and faster.

 

Guess hes ignoring everything we're saying. He came on saying what he just said in the quote, and Im trying to explain that this isn't the point of the thread. The point of the thread, for like the fifth time, is to show the difference is does make, not to say its worth it. Thats up to you

 

Fawk Da Puh'leece

CROATOAN, you sir, are ignorant.

 

" im planing to buy anytime soon but i read about the 3GB nvidia GPU is not worth it and just get the default GPU...

how true is this?
i thought the grater/higher the RAM the better?"

Mazzacre? W,T,F are you on about. Ignorance is rambling on about something irrelevant to the original question.

All I have done is answered the question, just because you dont like the answer....................

Fact is it makes little to no difference in ANY benchmark OR game in terms of performance. Hence there is little point spending $100 £100 or trading in the mother in laws teeth for the upgrade.

There are plenty of better threads discussing this, I suggest you read those and do your own homework before calling people ignorant.

Clearly you are ignorant of the facts and just want to stir this already tiresome subject up.

Its tiresome as you clearly need things explaining a few times before you grasp it?

 

Ok

Let me try and make this as clear
as possible
the point of
the thread
is to
show the difference
that the 3GB card makes.
Not to say
that its not worth it
or advise whether its priced correctly or not
its to show the difference it makes, not debating whether to get it.

 

lets break this down into english

"im planing to buy anytime soon but i read about the 3GB nvidia GPU is not worth it and just get the default GPU...

how true is this?
i thought the grater/higher the RAM the better?"

How simple can it be gears, read it in context.

He is asking if its worth it because he had heard it wasnt, but was unsure about the impact of the extra memory.

So answer is.

It makes no F'in difference so its not worth the extra money.

The answer really is that simple, why on earth is everyone turning this into a comparisons benchmark for something that does not exist? Something thats been debated on better threads and tested. I really wouldnt have even gone that far. However people do want to know.

Come on Gears, surely you are taking the P now. Six pages of dross, no point jumping on me for telling it like it is. When I bought my m14x, I saw the option and just laughed. Good job I have a good sense of humour or wouldve really got narked about these "gotta have the last word" digs haha

So come on Gears, in one sentence. Would you buy, recommend or still say that the difference it makes is anything other than negligible.? Go on just have the last word..............You know you want to

If your point is merely that one benchmark / game has 58 frames per second vs 57 frames per second? Thats a waste of our time.

These forums are here to help and advise other owners or prospective buyers. Not argue whether NO means minimal, none , minor or negligible.

In this instance, "No it makes no difference" means....................not that you would ever know unless you watched fraps or spent the day benchmarking. You'll never see the difference and not gain anything by spending an extra $100.

 

duh i cun nawt spak englrush. mast huv lass werd.

Croatoan, you're acting like we're flipping idiots. No duh the 3gb gpu has been shown to make very minimal differences in current games, that is extremely obvious to us, and was explained on the first page of posts. To answer your question personally i would not get it.

BUT FOR THE NINTH TIME. There are people who are enthusiasts and want the absolute best they can get out of a system. These people don't mind spending an extra hundred dollars for something that very well could be a huge help in the future.

To understand this, we compiled information and opinions while you ranted about MEMORY DUN HAS HALP IN G4M3S. In case you missed the point, games are using more and more memory. IN THE FUTURE, because we prepare for more than just the 'right now', games may make it more common to use so much VRam, considering graphics are just getting better and better.

I advise you to get off your pompous standing, and be more open-minded towards how other people live and make their decisions. I'm sure you make plenty of friends like this .

Your immaturity is quite apparent, given your signature "1.5GB GT555 as the 3.0GB is waste of $100".

Have a great day.

 

Can we please just get one guy with the 3GB card to post his framerates on a few games, and someone else with the same setup but with a 1.5GB card, play the same games with the same settings post up their framerates, and let's just see once and for all how the numbers fall.

 

I already posted some screenshots of Crysis with fps and the amoutn of VRAM being used (over 1.5gb).

But this thread is for showing instances of over 1.5gb being used, but every time I say that you just keep resorting to its not worth it. If you have nothing to contribute to the thread other than bashing it, we'd appreciate if you'd stop posting and causing unneccassary bumps. This is a free forum and we can make topics for whatever we'd like as long as they pertain to the m14x in this subforum, whether or not you think we are stupid and the thread is useless is your opinion, and whether or not it should be removed is up to the moderators. If you think we are being rude for making a thread for an option for the m14x, then please report us, the thread, or even me. I'd really like to see what I get banned for.

 

I'm more than happy to put this to bed. Massacre and gears seem adamant that in the absence of common sense the following applies :-

3gb > 1.5Gb so it must be better, it's not a Marshall amp dialled up to eleven.

That clearly worked

By gears own admission 900p at crysis is unreasonable to expect to tun at high detail, yet goes on to claim it utilises more gpu memory.

That point is not in dispute.

If these guys can't handle the fact that there is a minimal advantage, I suspect less than five percent lies between the two. Then only under certain conditions...... Then I am at a loss for words.

This has been benchmarked on other threads and they are either too lazy to look or use google to warrant this thread.

As for mazzacre's ramblings, I found them barely readable.

Time for the pub have a good weekend. If you want me to run the game / benchmark. I would be more than willing. Perhaps two impartial people should do it lol

 

Hi, please read the post above yours.

Thanks


Probably for the millionth time. Deciding whether or not its worth it is not the point of the thread. The thread is meant for showing any difference it makes.

 

Gears read the original question , the other info he asks is from what he has read elsewhere. He clearly asks if it's worth it.

I standby my answer, things don't need to get silly. Read the OP initial post.

I don't have an axe to grind but if this goes to benchmarks and value for money. There really isn't anything else to say.

There's loads of benchmarking threads about this and the evidence does not stack up for a purchase.

Time we put this to bed. If it's more than 5% consistently then I will gladly eat my words and buy you and mazzacre a pint

 

OP may have his own opinion but me posting some countering benchmarks for the 3gb card didnt call for the things you said.

Also, arent you supposed to be at the pub?

 

No dispute that more than 1.5GB is used in certain cases.

I would simply like to see what difference it makes in actual frame rates, for which we need a comparison test, not just the frame rates from one or the other. I don't think that is unreasonable.

 

Yes and Im willing, but Croaton somehow has it set in his mind that we're being useless in this thread or something for doing such
