So I've been wondering which one of these gpu's gives you the most out of it for the money. I've seen entry level gaming laptops with the 960m for around 1k the 970m at 1500 and  980m for 2k. I was wondering which has the best value for the money. Obviously the 980m is best but is it worth the extra cost?

You can get 970m laptops at around 1200 dollars now, which is the best of those options, but I've seen 960m laptops for as low as 800 dollars which might be better unless 1080p gaming is a min for you in which case the 970m should be your minimum gpu target.

I agree with Curufin, the 970m laptops have gone done in price quite a bit so it might be worth wild. At this point it honestly depends on the games you're playing and the resolution you're aiming for. I personally would go with the 970m because I want to play most of my games from average to high frame rates. The 980m is not worth the price in my opinion.
