So I've had some mixed answers for this question and I want to be certain I get the right video card
I've been told that this card is better

because unless I'm using multiple monitors in high resolutions I don't need 2GB of v ram. on the other hand I've been told that I should get two gigs of v ram on my gfx cards and that I should get this one

I don't plan on playing games in resolutions above 1366x768 so if someone could tell me whether or not I need two gigs of video ram that would be great
 
Solution
At such a low resolution, 1 GB is fine. If you were on 1920x1080, I'd probably go for 2 GB - but 1 GB is fine for 1366x768. That's cutting the resolution in half.
