So, I'm deciding between Vram variants on a gtx 770, and I don't know what to get. All I know is that vram is used for holding textures temporarily, but is it used for anything else? Are there any other benefits to getting a 4GB model vs a 2GB model?

You don't need more than 1GB of VRAM if you're playing at maxed settings, any unmodded game. If you're going to play Skyrim maxed out with all mods possible then you would have to use 2GB of VRAM. You will also need more than 1GB VRAM if you're playing at higher resolutions than 1080p.
It depends on the resolution you're playing with and how good the textures are in the game.

Yes. In memory intense graphical applications it helps. Are you willing to spend the x-tra bucks thats your call. It will sometimes help to beat having an sli.

its the stuff dreams are made of
no in all seriousness it is just the buffer that the card uses to produce the image on the screen more resolution bigger buffer at 1080p 2gbs is fine up from there you needs more power.
