Lenovo Y50 GTX 860m 4gb Vs 960m 2gb

[Sai0317]

Recently the lenovo y50 with gtx 960 has been released.
So this means we'll be getting the gtx 860 one at a cheaper price
so i have shortlisted these 2
Lenovo Y50 GtX 860 4gb and 16gb ram - $989
Lenovo Y50 Gtx 960 2gb and 8gb ram -$1099
Can someone please aid me in choosing one of these .
Also what are the extra benefits of more vram ?

Also other suggestions are welcome in this price range.

960 > 860. Having more vram allows to use higher settings on AA and textures, but only if the gpu processing compabilities can produce without tanking frame rates. 2 gb is more than enough for either of those cards and 4 gb version wouldn't recieve any gaming benefit.

What about the extra 8gb Ram ?
No extra benefits in gaming ?

After 8 gb of ram, the preformance doesn't seem to increase since even the most demanding games only use 6 gb of ram. So, to paraphrase, 8 gb of ram is ideal for gaming and any more won't have any impact in Performance at the moment.
