Graphics Card Advice

[Norack]

If you play at a resolution much higher then 1920x1080p or use multiple monitors at 1080p then you should get the 4GB, if not then go with the 2GB. Most games won't break above 2GB, but recently some games like skyrim and BF3 have broken 2GB when playing at higher then 1080p rez. It really depends on what you have now and what you want for the future, if you think your gonna get a insane screen or use multiple monitors in the near future to play PC games then go with 4GB to future proof. If your gonna only stick with 1080p then go with 2gb, i highly doubt FFXIV will even use 2gb.

Here are some benchmarks comparing a 2GB vs 4GB of the same card, notice how for all the resolutions at 1080p or lower, the FPS is the same, for some games even at higher res the FPS is the same.

In regards to the FTW version, this really depends on the specific card so it would be more helpful if you could link the 2 cards your looking at.

O wow! thx for the advice, I woulda gone with the 4 GB's if i didn't know this which is about $100 more ty ^.^

Here are the cards that I am looking at and ultimately will get 1 of these 2

GTX 670 2GB = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130782

GTX 670 2GB FTW = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130787

Not a huge price difference, the FTW version is about $25 more, but I can't see any difference at all in the FTW version other than it has "FTW" in the description.

lol sounds stupid but if the normal version doesn't work better than the FTW version id probably get the FTW version simply because i have a clear case and the FTW one looks better lol.
