Oh i forget this, CUDA cores are very important for GPU rendering and simulations (dynamic and particles). Try to buy a graphic with more CUDA cores, for example GTX970 has 1664 cores and GTX960 has 1024 cores so with GTX970 you will have around 40% more performance than GTX960 in rendering and

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

2GB GDDR5 VRAM is a little limiting but for a laptop is a great choice. And it's a great looking laptop  On Thu, Nov 5, 2015 at 6:32 PM, David Saber wrote: > Thanks guys for the informative discussion! > I'd like to purchase the ROG G752as soon as it's out: >

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

Nvidia seems to be the flavor in most places, i wonder if the difference is between their buisness range Quadro cards and there gaming range GeForce/Titan, the later which i imagine being gaming cards would have to be good at dealing with directX... On 5 November 2015 at 11:28, David Saber

Re: Graphic cards, OpenGL and DirectX

Opengl performance really isn't neutered in modern Nvidia cards and when it comes to dedicated graphics in a laptop, their GeForce M cards are the only option anyway. They are good too. The newest generation of mobile GPUs from Nvidia is much closer to their desktop counterparts than previous
