I need help
I cant decide which one to get. Is there a big difference that makes the 4g better? I was really thinking of getting the 2g because its in the Nvidia Titan cooler and it look soooo freaking cool!!

Anyway, my main question, is the 4g worth it over the 2g?

Not at all. 4G is great for resolutions over 1080P only. Search youtube for video about this by linus sebastian. Just search "how much vram do you need ?". In that it is clearly shpwn that there is no fps increase.

Unless you are over 1080p, heavily modding games such as skyrim, running multiple monitors, or plan to SLI get 2GB.

AS for the coolers, the titan blower style may look cool, but they run louder and worse than say ACX cooling.

As others have said, you won't really see a difference from the 2GB version to the 4GB version aside from very specific circumstances.
Go for the 2GB version, right now more than that is sort of a waste for most people.

Well, play all my games on 1080 however, I do like to have multiple monitors. Will that make difference with the 4g or will I only notice a difference with the 4g if I play games high than 1080?

If you run the games extended across more than one monitor you will need the extra Vram.

But if I have multiple monitors and only play a game on one, will I still need that extra vram?

Not necessarily. I run a 1080p for gaming on, with a 1600x900 for secondary use with my 760 2GB.

Even with resolutions higher than 1080p, 2GB will serve you well. I've been using a 2GB GTX680 for 2 years now with 4k resolutions as well as Nvidia Surround with little issue. You are more likely to run out of GPU horsepower than VRAM.
