Bought this for my grandson for college (engineering student). What performance difference can he expect for the 1GB vrs 2GB GDDR?

Quick turnover time on multiple tasking of websites and information needed for school. My son absolutely loves it!

For engineering applications I should think not much performance difference. Gaming is where it will shine (2GB). My son played Bioshock without nary a hiccup! Very smooth and impressive for a laptop and he has the 1GB. Hope that helps.

Alas, what the review actually says is: "The integrated graphics scored 739 in our 3DMark03 test (better than the MSI Wind NB's score of 606), and was even able to run the graphics intensive Second Life." This is hardly the same as "runs well". Compared with my HP laptops and desk top, SL is unusable on the Asus, with maybe 7-8 fps as indicated by another user below. It's still a nifty little machine for other uses.

it should work as long as your power supply has the appropriate 6-pin connector. The 2GB one might be better in some very specific games or apps, but unless you need tons of VRAM then I think the 1GB version is plenty.

Honestly, I don't know all of the technical details, but for many if not most next-gen games, 2gb of vram might not be enough to run on higher settings so my rationale is that if you're already willing to spend that much on a gpu, then why not just spend another $30 for twice as much vram? I will say that I don't know if any downsides of going for the 4gb version over the 2 gb.

I just bought one and it is a little over 4 G shared from the RAM. So 8 G RAM is good but for the APU upgrading is a must at least for me.

I don't know about exactly on FPS but usually for Video Memory, more is better. 1 GB for gaming depending on what game may or may not be enough. I would suggest to get the 2 GB. I only got the 1 GB because its an older computer and not worth the extra for this build.

Well I personally got the 4GB card just because I am running multiple monitors. If you are only using one monitor I would recommend 2G. There is not much of a difference between them and you will not notice a difference if you have a single 1080p monitor

thanks for the link, also about to purchase Ul20a with the memory you recommended, just wondering if its the same timings and specs than the one that comes inside.

No difference that I can tell. I installed it in a Dell desktop, and it recognized the new RAM immediately.

They are the same model/chipset the only difference is the amount of video memory. GV-N760OC-4GD REV2.0 has twice as much memory.

My driver was a mid-range board at low cost and TWO ports for DVI. I can only compare differing NVIDIA products but "better" is in the eye of the beholder. They both use 2GB worth of GDDR5 memory at 128-bit. The tipping point would be which features on each card are triggered by your favorite game(s).

8 gigs and without other upgrades (ie mobo) it is maxed out. You cant simply add additional memory. We bought this for a 14 year old for Christmas this year. He games some days for 4 hrs and some days 10 hrs. He loves it. So far he hasnt had an issue with any game he has downloaded. He is very satisified (for now atleast)

I can not answer that because I don't know what shared vs. ram graphics is. I am sorry. All I can tell you is that the graphics that this computer does have on it is excellent. I love it and would not trade it for anything else.

Amazingly I still have the box. My box is PNY and smaller, 1 Gb and just checked it and has the low profile adapter (still in plastic !) Actually it has two, so you can use the VGA and HD connections side by side. Kind of dumb to use the VGA connector these days. Just one thing, I get a 7.3 and 7.4 on CPU (6 core AMD) and memory (8 GB 8200) but only 4.8 (lowest I have) so this is no "gaming" card. I have a work PC (6 core AMD and 8 Gb memory) and another $35 GForce card with the same stinky results. I have Win 7 and use this so I can see the 12 Pale Moon pages I have open with the "peep" turned on. I'm a school tech, so lots of checking and sites open at work and home. I'm usually 1.3 Gb of web page memory. My work one is a 500 MB memory GForce... To get high scores.. you need those $300+ cards. I have watched Amazon TV at full screen and it comes up in HD (24" monitor) real nice. Google it and you'll hear the same results, not for big time gaming (high frame rates) and that stuff no matter how much memory.

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)
