2 Gb is enough for 1080p gaming.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

Hi Vandanved

 

Well it depends on the plans for your future, i personally when i had a 770 got the 4GB version but i am a video editor so it had usage for me when i moved into the 3d world, for gaming the extra horsepower isn't necessarily bad. but also if you are on a budget, you have to think of things, also bare in mind the price difference between a 4GB 770 and a 780, because that could dependant on the price be a very wise way to go.

 

Hope this helps,

In which case my friend, the 2GB should be more than enough for you, but I think it ultimately comes down to the price difference we are talking, if its a matter of a few $'s go for the 4GB, if its 30-40 maybe reconsider, but only you can make the call, we can but advise :)

No problem! I love my GTX 770. It's a good card, and it seems to handle most-all games maxed out well.

Its a huge difference in price of 2gb and 4gb. It is more than 120$ costlier.

My god prices here are insane for these stuff

Wow they sound it, for me it was about £30 when i originally got it, to be honest, based on that, its certainly not worth it!

4 GB is stupid on a 770 in my opinion. In terms of gaming. If you were looking for higher res, you would not buy a 770.
