GT750 GDDR5 VS DDR3 at 1366x768

[liindqvist]

How much better is performance at 1366x768 with a GT750m with GDDR5 memory compared to GT750m with DDR3?Will a i5 4200m dual core be enough with one of theese GT750m to game with?

The alternative is to buy either a laptop with GT750m 2GB GDDR5 + i5 4200m or a laptop with GT750m 4GB DDR3 + i7 4700m

My budget can't afford a laptop with both GDDR5 and i7 CPU.

Otherwise same hardware.

Hello... Performance can vary with the Software you are using... i7's have Hyper-Threading and GDDR5 is fast for Real Time Graphic processing.

Either one will play modern games with an i5. The GDDR5 is better though. The GPU has a lot more to do with game performance than the CPU so I suggest getting the 750m GDDR5 with the Core i5 processor. I'm currently running an Alienware M14X R3 laptop with a GT 750M w/1GB GDDR5 with a Core i7 Quad-Core CPU and I can play any game and will be able to for the new 3 or 4 years or so. But like I said, you could have a Core Duo and be able to play modern games but it's recommended to have a better processor than that, of course. The i5 is an awesome processor so don't worry. The i7 is better, but, the GPU is more important for gaming than the CPU so go with the i5 and GT 750m w/2 GB GDDR5. It'll be kickass man so no worries.

Thank's for the awesome reply, I ended up spending a little more and got a GTX 765m 2 GB GDDR5 with an i7 4700mq quad core, works like a charm. I forgot to close the thread but thank you anyway for the really informative reply.
