880M vs 960M

[DarienCS]

So I need to know which is better. 880M 6 GB VRAM, or the 960M 2GB?

960m, pretty sure, but of course the other system specs play a factor.

Basically need to know which one of these are better:

Dude... They're both crap deals. Forget battery life on the first one. But when you can literally get a NEW Inspiron 7559 for the same price? 

Any other recommendations?

These are Canadian dollar prices right?

I own an Asus ux501vw which also has the same core i7 and a gtx 960m and you can play all the games in 1080p without a problem, all the latest titles are fine on medium settings with fps 45+

Basicly friend all those laptops perform the same, they all come equiped with a i7 6700hq and a gtx 960m, its on you to pick the one with you features you like the most.

I have a personal bias against Lenovo but it's well recommended here as an alternative to the 7559

Curious, why? The Y700 is next to silent, and the keyboard never gets hot.

Bad experience with some of Lenovo's lower-end products.

I also stay away from lenovo but i must say the y700 is a pretty good machine.

We use thousands of Lenovo laptops, none of them have any issues. The reason we use them.

NO

These are laptops, not desktops. Cooling solutions, build quality and battery life especially can make or break the product.

None of those laptops we linked will brake easly and they will not thermal throttle. Features are more important if you ask me, i dont need a solid build laptop that is cool if it cant do what i want it to do, for instance i cant buy a windows laptop without an usb-c thunderbolt an so on.

I've used maybe half a dozen of their non-business non-gaming laptops, they're generally shit. Filled to the brim with bloatware and throttle like all hell.

Bloatware is standard on mainstream kit. My wifes MSI is 5x as bad.

I'd buy a 10xx card, a 960M has performance close to a 750TI, a 1060"M" has performance close to a 1050TI (AFAIK)

Really? My MSI is clean as a whistle.

Her Apache Pro was riddled with it. So bad it messed with her ability to use it for work. Still love MSI though. Might come down to model to model.

For actual power, the 880m could be the kepler or Maxwell version, I have the Maxwell GTX 860m, it's not a bad card, GTX 960m is a marginally better one, and the GTX 880m (Maxwell one) would kick my GTX 860m's ass. Even a kelper GTX 880m would be more powerful, but heat and power consumption higher.

880M is better by FAR...
