Hi, I wanna ask if its safe to run a laptop overnight with nVidia graphics. The model was a medium grade nVidia GeForce GT 520M with 1GB DDR3 or should i choose over an AMD Radeon HD7670M 2GB/1GB

what do you mean by memory, like ram sticks or vram in your graphics card such as 2gb or 4gb cards?

yeah those 2gb or 4gb cards, im getting a gaming pc with a budget, just having to choose between those two graphics card.
 


It's hard to go wrong with more memory. There really are very few if any consequences of installing more. It's cheap right now anyway.

yea pretty much what Pinhedd said, i would go with the 4gb if you plan on using that laptop for a long time as games will start to exceed 2gb vram. i wish i would have spent the extra money and got a 4gb 670 instead of a 2gb but its not as big of a deal currently
