Thanks, but I was kinda looking for a 4gb model, and this one would be out of my price range.

My monitor is probably the next thing I'll upgrade, but I wanted to get this first.

Actually, I just bought that very card and it does run smoothly at 1080p. I also picked the card because of a heavily modded Skyrim and I wanted the 4gb to handle enb and a lot of textures. I live in Florida and it's HOT and that card is rated as one of the coolest cards out there.

Would the 2gb card still be able to run BF3/4 and Modded Skyrim at high settings?
