Yes it does have a point if you plan on using 2 or 3 of them, as with the 670/680 2gb will get smashed by some games.

The draw back is its 4gb on a 256bit bus, that price range a 280x would be a better buy IMO.
 
Depends on what you are doing with it instead of gaming.

If it is just basic desktop stuff then even 2GB will be overkill.
 
Yup, there is point. while the 670/760 can't use the full 4GB due to limitations of architecture it can use more than 2GB. For example I have seen my cards use 2.7GB of Vram in some high demanding games.

So yes there is a point to it, you will have more vram to play with. and If your paying £10-20 more for the extra Vram then it's certainly worth it.

Before I had SLI I could use 2.4gb in BF4 maxed out.
 
If you get two of them to maxout BF4 then yes.

Just one, no.

But if your going to spend £400 on them your better off with a 780 / R9 290.
 
depends what resolution you game at but then can a 760 really game at 1080+ with good frame rates?

I've been playing quite a bit recently and keeping an eye on mem usage on my 780 @ 1080 and nothing has gone over 2gb

tl:dr. no. cheap memory on a small card. marketing. leave it alone

If you SLI you effectively double bus bandwidth though. 2 buses working on the same data set.
