So is that a yes or no? According to the article, there is only a 2GB version of the card. I really want to know as well. Should I just trust the Lenovo sales rep, or are they just completely lying?

Oh and another thing to consider before buying the Y50 is that it has a TN panel.

On the official lenovo webite it says "Up to GTX 860M 4GB (Maxwell)" and a number of other forums have people posting that the 2GB & 4GB are maxwell. Games like skyrim rely on a big amount of VRAM (not more than 2GB I think) but I would go for 4GB because firstly there isnt much of a price difference between the two models and also I would like my laptop to last me a while.

NEVER trust a Chinese company; Lenovo is Chinese brand; they won't last long at all.

I suggest go with Asus, MSI if you want to save money compared to Alienware, Samsung, and Dell.
