1gb vs 2gb graphics card ram

[kashifji]

As salam o alaikumi am going to buy gtx 650ti 1gb.my question is one gb graphics card enough or i should buy 2gb version.my resolution is 1280x1024

1GB is enough for you.

2GB only to be future proof considering that you'll eventually buy an LCD with higher reso.


Vram is mostly eaten when there are more pixels on screen. ( some what ) xD

SO....

1GB if your 1024 is permennant,
2GB for future proof.



ALSO
2GB is a standard nowdays.
So you pick.
Whatever suits you.

1gb is enough for res till 1366x768
2gb onward till full HD
and then 3gb plus

[MENTION=25541]kashifji[/MENTION], for a GTX 650 Ti, 1GB should suffice, anything more than that, say GTX 650 Ti Bosst, you might as well get a 2GB card. And yes, 2GB is standard these days, but looking at your resolution even 2GB won't do wonders for you, unless you upgrade your monitor.

Those are not "dumb asses", they just have an issue called "e-peen". BTW, how does this contribute to this thread anyway?
