Hi all,

I'm in the process of getting myself a new notebook, a new Asus G1.
This machine has a nvidia 7700 GPU, unusually (for a midrange notebook) this card has 512MB of dedicated VRAM (no Hypermemory or Turbocache) and runs a 1680x1050res screen.

I expected that having 512MB of dedicated VRAM would be an advantage, however a respected fellow on a notebook forum mentioned that having 512MB of VRAM on a mid range card such as this, may NOT actually be an advantage but more of a marketing ploy?

I was hoping someone could shed some light on this, e.g. would having 512MB over 256MB of VRAM actually help some games run better?
 
Ah... thanks for the answer, I guess the extra VRAM won't hurt then :)

The Nvidia 7700 part is a new one cooked up mainly for the notebook market
