GTX 970m 6gb vs GTX 980m 4gb

As the title says, this is for gaming and I want my laptop to be as future proof as possible.
I estimate the difference in price to be roughly £50 cheaper if i go for 970m

The 970M should have roughly the same performance as a desktop 960, the 980M as a desktop 970. Should be plenty of benchmarks out there to compare performance. It's pretty tough to get a laptop that's future proof, but one with a more powerful GPU (980M) is obviously going to last you longer.

The extra VRAM of the 970M is unlikely to make a difference. For either graphics card, you're probably going to be limited by GPU performance before you run out of VRAM.

The 980m is worth the extra cost. It will smoke the 970m.
