I will soon be purchasing some type of Gtx 770. I know there is not a big differnce between 2gb and 4gb gtx 770 in single cards--

- I am curious how big is the difference in SLI between 2gb and 4gb--- is it enough to warrant a 50-70 dollar difference per card-

also Please note I have an i7-4770k stock speeds (for now) , and a Gigabyter Z87-UD3H- and that motherboard has 1 PCIe 3.0 x16 and 1 PCIe 3.0 x8 not 2 x16 --- I am pretty sure that makes like only a 1 percent differnce---

I am sure that my cpu will not be bottlenecked by sli 770's but I would like to hear it again because I just bought this cpu and I am proud of it

The 2gb and the 4gb gtx770 are virtually identical. You won't notice any difference at all; even synthetic benchmarks have a very difficult time telling them apart as the difference is within the margin of error.

The only reason to go to a 4GB card is if you are gaming in surround(3 monitors). You won't bottleneck at all.

No problems with a bottleneck there , you can always overclock the cpu anyway to get more juice out of it.

If you are on a single 1080 monitor a 2GB card will do, but if you plan on upgrading to 1440 or go multi monitor I would suggest you get the 4GB model as you will need that extra vram for it and also its better for future proofing.

cant games like bf4 suck all 2gb? bf3 on ultra was just less than 2gb, if it's up to me ill get 4gb. Note that i have 2gb 670, wish i bought the higher one. yes, very few (if any) will use more than 2gb, so it depends on what you play i guess

If your gonna SLI it's better to get the 4gb card. Because you want the setup to last you as long as possible.

GPU-wise it's a beast, but like Cons29 said new games are going to start using more vram. Did you know the new consoles have 8gb of ram? That's scary alright.
