I *believe* that the difference between IPS screen and the other may manifest itself in things like viewing angle, accuracy or consistency of colour reproduction (for photographers / graphics designers) and clarity of viewing in daylight. This thread is 5 years old, so there may well have been developments since: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/44510-what-ips-screen.html This may not matter at all to you, and maybe you're just asking about the GPU, but I thought I'd address the question you actually posed. ;) Stroller.
