I saw the 380 4gb for 170 yesterday

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Definitely the 380 

 

But really shoot for the 4gb model if you can at all 

 

They drop pretty low around this time 

 

What this guy said. I only got the 2gb because it was what they had in the store. From the benchmarks I've seen it is a small increase from the 2gb to 4gb BUT get the 4gb.

Yep, the average usage is around 2.8 but you get spikes past 3 pretty frequently. I've got a few mods going but nothing heavy.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Well I don't plan on getting it anytime soon so I'll live. I was reading reviews saying it didn't go past like 1.8gb or something. Weird.

if you turn off AA it doesn't - he simply has a beastly card that can handle it :)

LOL, it's at 1.8 in the load menu LOL. Not sure what they're on about but both Afterburner and Trixx have it over 3g at times.

OHHH ok. Maybe that is what I read. No idea! I figured if you turned off AA it increases performance. :)
