gtx 770 2gb or 4gb?

[Blindeagle]

I just found a great deal were i can get the Zotac GeForce GTX 770 1059MHz 4GB for £329.99 Now i was wondering is this something i should consider as the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclock would cost me £319.99, so its only £10 extra, do u think i really need the 4gb for like future gaming etc. As people have said Battlefield 4 is coming out . Please let me know what u think

P.S i use single monitor and highest res is 1080p. But like i said will it be good thing for future gaming

A general rule of thumb for 1080p - 1600p gaming is that 2gb is plenty. It's only when you start cranking up to very high resolutions where multi cards / monitors are used that you need the extra (but as it's only a tenner more I would go for the 4gb anyway).

Ye thats what i was thinking really, i mean i just kept on reading that its for future gaming but anther question is Zotac GeForce GTX 770 1059MHz 4GB any good compared to EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclock 2gb?

I think aside from aesthetics, cooling and warranty terms, all you'll find is that the EVGA is clocked slightly higher - which you can rectify yourself by mildly overclocking the zotac.

ah ok so if i want to overclock then evga it is if not then zotac it is

Make sure you get a 3 gig card, otherwise you wont be able to run Battlefield 4 on recommended settings according to official system requirements. And pretty much any new gen game.

thats what i used to think until i got a 1440p monitor and loaded skyrim with mods, GPU RAM usage was upto 2.5GB according to Afterburner

Same, only mine was at 1080p. Sometimes/rarely, 2GB isn't enough.

So just to be on the safe side as i have the money get the Zotac GeForce GTX 770 4gb version?

If I was buying new today, no hesitation, I'd get a 4gb card.
