Is there any difference between Gigabyte GTX 750Ti 1Gb and 2Gb?(Maxwell). Will the 2Gb version work on a AsRock G41C-GS, cause when i was looking at the Mobo's specifications, it said about GPU: Max Shared Memory 1759Mb, so that means 1,5Gb max GDDR5? Someone please explain!
 
Solution
both versions will work fine, don't look to much into the specifics cause it'll just start to get confusing. IF your running in 1080p 1GB is fine. 2GB is usually only needed at 1080p if your trying to max out every game. And with a 750ti you wont quite be maxing games out. SO for all intents and purposes, your fine with the 1GB card.

The other reason to go with more VRAM is if your running higher than 1080p.

It is the max shared memory if you are using the build-in HD4xxx on your CPU. Your discrete GPU will still have 1 or 2 GB. But in my opinion, buy the 2 GB version anyway. 1 GB of VRAM is completely insufficient and will also make it harder to sell second-hand on Ebay, when you're ready to upgrade. Also the price difference should be negligible.

Example: I previously owned an old ATI HD 4670 with 512 MB of RAM, but everyone on Ebay was looking for the 1 GB version. Because of this, I couldn't even sell it. I ended up giving it away to a Tom's Hardware user.

show me a game that uses more than 1GB of ram at med settings 1080p. Ram doesnt determine frame rate directly, it determines the amount frames in the frame buffer, the detail level of the textures and such. IF you max a gmae at 1080p there will be games thatt stretch the envelope of 1GB, but since a 750ti cant max them anyway, the 1GB saves some money. 512MB is just to little which is why you had problems, but i have a rig still chugging along at 1080p 60fps in skyrim on a 6950 1GB.
