If I get two GTX 760s, should I get 4GB or 2GB models.

I plan on doing triple 1080p 144Hz monitors but only playing the game on the one middle monitor, and then having the other two screens monitoring the video capturing etc. Should I get the 4GB models because don't the GPU's share the frame buffer of 4GB? So it'd be 2GB each. So if I just got the 2GB models it'd be 1GB each. And wouldn't that sort of bottleneck them in games if they only had 1GB each? Thanks in advance if I don't reply to your answers :)

graphics cards dont share the video memory each keeps its own
and you cant use one with 2 gb and one with 4 gb and get 3 on each or 6 in total ... it will be 2 each if i am correct and they are compatible
now since you already got 3 displays ... you wont resist the temptation of playing on all of them so go with the 4gb model

I actually don't like triple monitor gaming, I'm a "competitive" gamer and having to literally turn your head to look left to right just to check the sides of your character in a FPS is a "no no" takes to much time and is too distracting.
