[SOLVED] 3 GB GTX 1050 vs 4 GB GTX 1050

[Sagar_20]

Which is the better laptop? Both are Asus FX505 but with different amount of VRAM.

1 gig of VRAM is not a big enough to make a choice. Unless every single other specification is the exact same, then of course the 4 GB version is going to be better. But if the processor in the 4GB version is trash and the one in the 3GB one is great, the 3GB is going to win every single day.

The 1060 3gb is significantly faster than the 1050 4gb. The differences go well past the amount of vram.

The 3gb of vram on the 1060 is a limit, but the 1060 gpu is soo much faster than the 1050 gpu, the vram difference doesnt matter much.

The 1060 will be significantly better almost all around.

Both GPU's mentioned above are 1050's. If it's about whether a 1050 4GB or a 1060 3GB being better, that's a whole different story..

ASUS' own website lists these possible GPU's in the FX505:

NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 , with 4GB GDDR5 VRAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050TI , with 4GB GDDR5 VRAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 , with 6GB GDDR5 VRAM

Only getting more confused at this point.
