First of all, thanks you all for your help.

Well, i dont know if i really need 4GB memory or if it worth it. I'm playing in 1920x1200 with an old GTX295 and it's time to upgrade, but, it's worth get the 4GB version for 1200p or the 2GB will be good enought?
I'll play games like BF4, DayZ, and some Mmorpg so i don´t want have FPS issues for a long time (in Mid-High graphics).

Thanks for all!

First of all, at that resolution, 2GB is fine. Second of all, since the GTX 770 comes equipped with a 256-bit memory bus, it really can't utilize the extra memory well at all anyways. Even at high resolutions, the 4GB 770 performs almost exactly the same as the 2GB 770. Just look at these benchmark results: http://alienbabeltech.com/main/gtx-770-4gb-vs-2gb-tested/3/

You are best off either getting the 2GB GTX 770, or saving up until you have enough for a GTX 780. The 4GB 770 is a huge waste of money.
