Confused about 1gb graphic cards vs 2gb graphic cards

[dandondon]

I am new to buying a laptop. I don't play games often, but lately i have been addicted to battle field 3. My work is going to take me on the road for weeks but on end shortly. So I am going to buy a laptop, but I don't know if I should buy a 2gb card or a 1gb card. The screen size is going to be 15.6 with a 1920 x 1080. I don't want to over pay. if i could get some advice I would greatly appreciate it

It depends on screen resolution, anything above 1080P would need more than 2gb of vram. That is on desktop gpu's, though I don't know about laptops. Personally I would get the 2gb card.

Well BF3 is very CPU and GPU demanding.. if you look for laptop that can play this you will expend some much cash.. LUL .. take a look at the laps in this link http://eurocom.com/ there you will find costs and diiferent types. and with one 1Gb video card you will be fine with 1080P, taking in consideration the size of screens for laps you will see everything very tiny on screen at 1080p.
