Yupm I did mean, 2560 x 1440 :-). I have no problem playing that resolution on medium to high setting with my 2gb model, I have it overclocked to 1100 MHz
If you have a resolution such as 2560 x 1600 you need 2GB of VRAM for good frame rate. For any thing 1920 x 1080 or below 1gb is fine. all there is to it. It does have a faster clock speed that why it is better for lower resualtion at 2560 x1600 a 2gb card would kick its butt. That is what I meant. If he upgraded his monitor and used a Higher resolution above 1920 x 1080 he would benefit from 2gb VRAM.
1gb should be fine for that resolution. I have 7850 2gb and it is a boss! Either way I have used my friends 1gb and its kinda boss too. Good card. If you have the money 2gb is always bettter if not 1gb will due.
Why do you need 32GB Memory? and a i7 3770k with a Cooler Master V6GT CPU Cooler? That is amazing does it overheat? I have 16GB memory at 1600MHz and can do CAD work along with some light video editing.
I have found there anti virus works best as a Firewall and not really an antivirus when you already have viruses on your system. When there already on your system I recommend Malwarebytes.
