1050 instead of 960m, worth it?

Hi, my name is Iago and I'm brazilian, so, there's this company that goes by the name of Powernote, and it makes, guess it, powerful notebooks. I bought one a couple of months ago, some stuff happened and i had it go to warranty. 9 FREAKING MONTHS LATER, here I am without any pc. Given that some issues came along the way they just decided to give me a new machine, being that mine was too screwed up to fix, and they're offering me exactly the same setup, except for the graphics card, that used to be a gtx 960m, and they're giving me a gtx 1050 as a replacement. Should I take the offer? Are they basically the same? Is it worth it being that they made me go through a lot of stress trying to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

PS: 960 has 4gb memory and 1050 has only 2. That's what puts me in doubt. Sorry for my raw English

The 1050 is vastly more powerful than a 960m, regardless of video memory.

I'd take the 1050. At this level of card those 2gb shouldn't be the deciding factor, raw performance should be.

900 mobile series is completely inferior to Pascal (10 Series) A 960m is roughly half the speed of its desktop brother. Having said that a 1050 (mobile) is only roughly 2% slower than its desktop brother, meaning you are basically getting a desktop chip.

All of that said. The 1050 is about 70% faster the 960m and better in pretty much every way. Pascal is doing exceptionally well in laptops.
