marteng Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hello,I recently purchased a new GTX 980M 8GB for my Clevo P150EM. Now I'm trying to install the drivers successfully. But my first question:Can you tell me, how to differentiate visually the 8GB from the 4GB version?The mxm card has the PCI-ID: 10DE:13D7Thank you.Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeAdHuNtErGER Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hello marteng,in my opinion you dont need the 8 GB VRAM because with an GTX 980M you can play in 1080p or 1440p - not 4k.(Higher resolution => More VRAM)If you wanna play in 4k you will need an desktop-pc with an high-end graphicskard (GTX 980).Best regardsHeAdHuNtErGER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orankid197201 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 You may count the number of vRAM memory on the card. Normally is black square chip.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marteng Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thank you for your awnsers. I didn't know that the capacity of the memory chips is fixed so that you can determine the VRAM from the numbers of RAM chips.I'm in need for the 8GB version not for gaming. I'm doing GPU rendering with really complex scenes so the additional VRAM is a must. I know of professional quadro cards, but this laptop installation is a proof-of-concept to estimate the possibilities and advantages of GPU rendering. There are no desktop cards under $1000 with that much ram that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveli92 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The thing is the GTX980M will never be able to push games at 4K well at any amount of VRAM to begin with. I think 4GB of VRAM is enough for the resolution that it is capable of pushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
