What res does your monitor allow? Do you mod games and like to turn on all eye candy, high AA etc ?

No it is not worth the extra 1GB of VRAM at your resolution:

I would get the GB SOC 560 instead, neck in neck performance with a standard 570:

Comparison of some of the 560s:

EDIT:

Nearly all of the 560s (especially the MSI and GB ones) are extremely quiet at idle and load, that's one of the main things I like about these cards.

1gb is fine for 1080p, 2gb is only needed on a select few games like crysis and arma 2 or quite a few more if you're forcing a decent amount of sgssaa anti aliasing. for triple screen though 2gb is absolutely needed
