    Is there any difference between the 2 cards where one has 1.5gb and the other has 3gb? Will the 3gb version show more 3dmark vantage/2011 scores?

    Will it give more fps in games?

    Are both 1.5gb and 3gb 192-bit or one as 128 bit?

    Are both 336 pipelines?


    Thanks

    back on topic, if both are GDDR5 memory then no you will not see a difference. 3gb is overkill unless you plan to use multiple monitors and super high resolutions (above 1080p). The 1.5gb should be fine.

    Thanks for reply

    So basically what you are saying is that the GTX 670m 1.5gb on the Sager models are true and legit not watered down GTX 670m right?

    No no, if it's 3gb, it's the same card just with increased VRAM.
    It's not a watered down version by any means.
    But 1.5gb is more than enough for everything: higher VRAM usually is needed if you use two monitors or 3d since it requires more VRAM. 3gb comes handy in that case.
    Bf3, Crysis 2 as an example usually max out around 1300mb ~ of VRAM.

    Bingo. 1GB is said to be more than enough for gaming on a 1080p monitors but 1.5 is even better and 2gb just to be safe (said to be overkill). 3GB is unnecessary IMO. Go with the Sager, they are great machines.

    What's the price difference between the two and are there any other differences between the units that you care about?
