    I have narrowed it down to two laptops.

    1 has 970M 3GB (x2)

    And the other has:

    1 has 970M 6GB

    ...

    I know a few games need more than 3 or 4 GA of VRAM, but I hear if you change one setting everything is fine.

    My question is how much will I really need VRAM if I only really play highly optimized games.

    If there are only a few titles that need more than 2 GB of VRAM then I am going to pull the trigger on the SLI 970M.

    Let me know what you think.
