Whats the advantage of having 2GB DDR5 graphic card over 1GB card?
will it have any difference in gaming performance? most of them say like graphic card uses only 1GB of VRAM so whats the advantage of having 2GB over 1GB?

Guessing this is a 7850. If they are both certainly GDDR5 versions, get the 2GB one, just make sure to avoid GDDR3 cards.

More Memory -- More Resolution,More memory intensive games and apps. That's all. If you have a smaller monitor, and a not-so-big CPU, 1gb gddr5 graphics is the best.
