I currently have an MSI GTX 650 with 1GB of memory and I'm looking to upgrade. I have settled on an MSI GTX 770, but I'm not sure which will suit me better: The 770 with 4GB of memory or the 770 Lightning with only 2GB of memory. I game on one monitor at 1920x1080 and I realize that using more than 2GB of memory at 1080p is very rare. However, I know some newer games are beginning to exceed that point (BF4) and I have read some people saying that a heavily modded Skyrim uses 3 or more gigabytes (which is one of the reasons I want to upgrade, my 1GB of vram causes a lot of stuttering in outdoor environments in Skyrim). My overall question is: Will having a higher overclock (Lightning) or a larger memory (4GB) be more beneficial to me?
