Hello,

I'm going to purchase a gigabyte AMD HD 7790. I'm going to use dual monitor at 1920x1080 for desktop applications (For games I will be using only 1 monitor).

Is it worth it to buy the 2gb over the 1gb?

Thanks.

yeah it's not a must but a recommended, you'll have a smoother experience overall this way.

and that seems pretty weird, but benchmarking will be benchmarking after all, just assume that they'll perform exactly the same in terms of raw power

Thank you all for your responses.

What I understood from all yours answers is that 2gb isn't a MUST have for dual monitors, it obviously helps. I also found out that in some games the 1gb version outperforms the 2gb version, it is weird.
