1gb cards are nearly unheard of in decent tier cards today, but with a decent card such as a 750 ti or something how badly would a card bottleneck?

They don't. The 750ti is meant as entry level 1080card. The gpu will struggle before vram becomes a bottleneck for  it. So if you want your framerate to stay at 30-60fps, the 750ti cannot do maxed setting an therefore doesn't really need the 2gigs. Of course, if you're fine with 15-35fps in order to max draw distances/AA/textures, then there might be a few games that will need a just a tad over 1 gig. Hence my decision to get the cheaper 1gig 750ti from zotac. Also, since it cannot run in sli, this further eliminates the need for more vram.
