if you plan on adding a second card later, get the 4gb version. if not, then only get the 4gb version if it is just barely more expensive or, like razer said, use multiple monitors.

i disagree. even if crossfire was a future option, the 270x doesnt have anywhere near enough processing power or memory bandwidth to utilize the extra 2gb. there are faster, more expensive cards out there that cant even call 4gb worthwhile.
the 270x is a good performer, but save your money and get the 2gb card or a 280/280x.

a 280 would be better i agree, however a 270X is strong enough to use around 3gb vram if it is a memory-intensive game, like watch-dogz.

granted watch dogs can perform better in certain instances with 4gb over 2gb (like dual gtx770's for example), but a quick google check turns up nothing that i can see that supports your claim regarding 2vs4 for slower cards like the 270x
even then, watch dogs is basically the only game that shows any improvement, and like i said, only under certain instances/settings.
