Welcome to the forum!

 

Generally 1gb of gddr5 is better. However, if you are about to buy a gpu, ask us first. What exactly are you looking to buy? We can give you some "pro tips" as to what's best for your buget (how much is it btw?).

GDDR5 hands down but if you're choosing between two of the same cards, you need to get a higher end card buddy.
