HI
I am looking forward to buying a gaming laptop. I found 2 laptops that fit my budget : The Dell 15 7000 and the HP ENVY 15-j109tx . The main difference between them is the graphic card , the Dell has a Nvidia GT 750M 2GB GDDR5 while the Hp has a Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 card. Based on this will there be a major performance difference between the two ??
Thanks for your help.

GDDR is most advantageous over DDR in high performance cards but it will also help quite a bit in midrange cards as well. If the price difference is not substantial, go with the GDDR equipped 750M

I am not expert myself and often ask help instead of offering it,but not that long ago I replaced my GT 440 into GTX 750 Ti, massive performance boost, also comparing #40 vs #50 in benchmarks there's huge gap all the time since #40 are the cheaper end poor performance cards, while #50 are the economic class most cost effective middle tier gaming cards
