i m buying a new laptop under budget $900
so i want gddr5 or ddr5 version of graphic card , so here what i got
HP Pavilion Pavilion Series 15t-H3977 L9S44AV Intel Core i5 (6th Gen) - (8 GB DDR3/1 TB HDD/Windows 10/2 GB Graphics)
in this laptop they are providing gt940m 2GB GDDR5
now but GT 940m is available only in ddr3
and also will this gpu will be able to run games upto next 3 years
another option for me is lenovo Z50-71 which offer R9 375M or tropo xt2 what they call it
which include same specs with 4 GB ddr3 graphics
so should I go with lenovo or HP
which is better laptop for gaming...!!!

R9 375m is a little better than 940m.Both have mediocre perfomance and their price do not justify their perfomance.My advice is to buy at least something with a gtx 950m-ddr5 or 960m.Anything below than 950m is not meant for gaming.

What about gt 750m 2 gb gddr5
Or u suggest any laptop under $900 in india
 
There's nothing in your price range with a 950m. There are a couple of 55,000 INR HP laptops with the 940m, which you have already found. Don't worry about the DDR3.

This: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-940M.138027.0.html is a very good place to compare Laptops and laptop GPUs. You can see how weak the 940m is. Look at the various benchmarks and alternative GPUs and see what you can afford and stand.

It's on the chart I linked to about three steps above the 940m. Look at its benchmarks and see what you can stand. That's why I posted the chart, so you can see the performance and decide what is good or bad enough for you. You are going to use the computer, not me, your expectations and needs are what matters.
