1gb vs 2gb graphics card

[redfinger]

Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST (2gb) vs Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti Nvidia (1gb)

I'm heading towards building my own computer for gaming. I'm wondering what graphics card to get. I'm wondering if I should head for 2gb card or 1gb.

If you have any other suggestions other than the ones above I'd be grateful. My price range is 100-150 pounds 150-230 USD.

I want to run games on medium to high and my Processor and Ram are- i5-3520k
8gb RAM

Thanks

There is a big difference between those two cards if the one is boost and the other isn't. The boost edition is much better for gaming.

The 650ti Boost 2GB will outperform the 650ti 1GB easily.

2GB is minimum for games nowadays. 1GB video ram will struggle on high settings.

Is the 2gb one actually any good?

Yes it's a good card and a good value. It's comparable to the radeon 7850, but about $10 cheaper.
