All games say like they need 2GB VRAM,3GB VRAM. Does it matter that much? I have GTX 780 AMP! edition,it has 3gb vram,if games just want vram,then will 6gb edition give twice performence, then accoding to this does't things like shader,cuda cores,texture rate,pixel rate matter, if they don't mean this why do they write VRAM,please explain
Does VRAM matter

The only way you would need more than 3gb of VRAM would be if you are running multiple monitors, running with high levels of anti aliasing or running a resolution above 1080p at high-ultra settings.
Having 6gb over 3gb will only make a difference in the circumstances I just mentioned. You will not get double the performance.

The amount of VRAM will only matter if you are gaming at super high resolution/ multi monitor setup, when the extra RAM will be used. It will not "speed up" the game.
To get more performance, a better graphics card (better architecture, higher frequency etc.) is needed.

If you need more than you have then it causes a performance drop as the game will have to retrieve the textures etc from the system ram, or worst case the SSD/HDD.
However, pretty much every game will allow you to reduce texture quality and anti aliasing settings to limit your vram consumption.
if you have more vram than nessesary then you dont get any more performance, so it doesnt work like that.

It will help, depends on how much the game is using. I don't think most games will use a full 6gb of vram. Yur probaby perfect with 3 to 4 gigs
