Ok. so i was just wondering, what card would be better because if i get a 1GB 7790 it would be cheaper than a 2GB 7790 and i really don't know if its worth buying a 2GB card. Is there any pro's and con's? Im currently using a 1600 x 900 monitor. I have a i7 930 and 6GB or ram if you need to know.
Thanks for the help! :)

For your monitor's resolution it might not matter.

More VRAM is required at full HD and above screens in demanding gameplay and for video editing 3k 4k hardware.

But I think 2gb is a bare minimum you should use for the latest games. It would be worth the trade off if you ever decide to increase your display to full HD as well.
