GeForce GTX 850M 4GB Game Requirement Analysis

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS GRAPHICS CARD HAS 2 VARIANTS: DDR3 AND GDDR5. THIS IS THE DDR3 VARIANT.


This is the 4GB DDR3 variant of GeForce GTX 850M. In this edition, the frame buffer was doubled to 4GB though this will not boost its performance and can be addressed as a gimmick - marketing to lure consumers into paying more for the same product.
