Hello, I found 2 laptops within my budget, one with a GTX960M 2GB graphics card and the other with 4GB.
Is there really a difference? Because in the configuration with the 2GB card, I also have a 7200 RPM hard drive instead of 5400, 16GB of RAM instead of 8, and a 128GB SSD (not on the other).
Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Just for the SSD and the 7200, take the config to 4.

    Installing a system on a 5400 HDD is good for tearing your hair out.

      the SSD and the 7200 come with the GTX 960 M 2GB.
      I wanted to know if there is really a difference in taking the 2GB that comes with the SSD and the 7200 HDD.
      Sorry, that wasn't clear....

      Ah, I read it wrong, so go for the 2GB, what's more important in a graphics card is the bus width rather than its memory. In this case, both are 128 bits.

      So without hesitation, I advise you to prioritize the 2GB with SSD between these two models.
