Question about VRAM

[Ethre]

So my graphics card recently died, and I am saving up for a R9 380 4GB card.

 

I currently have 160€, and the card is priced at 250€.

 

Today, I saw a guy selling an R9 285 (Strix) for 150€ on my local craigslist.

 

I wanted to know if that's a good deal, and if the 2GB VRAM is enough to play games on 1080P.

 

Would it be better to save up for a month and get the R9 380 4GB?

 

Or maybe there's a new card that's about to come in this price range?

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The 285 is basically a 380 but the 2GB of VRAM will be a problem in the nearish future with games starting to push more than 3GB.

Get the 380, there are a few games that can use more then 3GB at 1080p, some even pushing over 4GB.
