Hey everyone,
So I currently have a triple monitor setup: 3 x 1680x1050 = 5040x1050 "single display." I also currently have a Radeon HD 5850 video card (1 GB DDR5) running all 3.
I'm looking at probably getting a GTX 770 (think I can afford that, instead of a 760), but I'm wondering about 2GB vs. 4GB. I've heard a lot of talk from a lot of people, and what I can surmise so far is that for a single monitor setup, 2GB will hold you for a while (especially if you're just going to buy another single card somewhere down the road and save money that way, as opposed to doing SLI with a couple).
However, I've heard conflicting information about 2GB vs. 4GB for multi-monitor setups. Some say 2GB is fine if you're not doing SLI (which I'm not planning to), others say that games like BF4 are already reaching/slightly exceeding the 2GB limit and you should future-proof with 4GB, etc.
I'd love to have your feedback on 2GB vs. 4GB 770s specifically for my triple-monitor setup. Thanks in advance!
