I plan on finally upgrading my graphics card and I want to buy a GTX 560 Ti. I was looking at the cards from EVGA at my local computer store and I am a bit confused on which one to pick. There is one model that has 1 GB of vram, and is clocked at 900, and the other one has 2 GBs of vram, but is clocked at the lower speed of 822. I plan on playing at 1080p resolution on my 32" TV. Which one would you recommend? Does the slightly slower clock speed make much of a difference, and will I even notice a difference with the extra GB of vram?

For the most part more Vram is for gaming at higher resolutions then 1080p like 1200 or 1600. there are only 2 games that i know of right now that use more then 1gb of ram with all settings maxed but with a 560 ti you wouldn't be able to max those game settings anyways ( metro 2033, crysis 2 with hi res texture and dx11 ). i would say your better off with a higher clock and lower vram in your situation.
