I was just looking at the Clevo ad in the latest PC Gamer mag - 8GB of GDDR5 for the GTX 880M...which is what...a desktop GTX 770/680 in terms of power? You see it all over the place in the mobile side - yet with desktop GPUs (where it could actually be utilized for 4K and more as there's more power and capability due to more space/power/better cooling) breaking 4GB is a rarity.
I understand a lot of it is marketing - but then why not toss that on the desktop side, as well? AMD doesn't seem as guilty as NVIDIA on the mobile side of overdoing VRAM, too...which is interesting.
