I want to put a 4gb Gigabyte GT770 in my haswell build.
Im looking to "Futureproof" my system as right now games are taking
up 2gb-3gb vram. Im sure in the next 6 months to a year 4gb vram will
be required. As of right now will it bottleneck my current games as I enjoy
playing n max settings.

Or should I get a EVGA GTX770 2GB SPLock?

Thank you

If a game exceeds 2GB VRAM 1x 770 isn't fast enough to run it at those settings, this is proven by Crysis 3, wack up the antialiasing and while you may exceed 2GB, the framerate totally dies.

A 4GB card is only worth it if you want to SLI them and go multimonitor, for 1080p I wouldn't bother.

Thanks for that. I do have a single monitor for now but by christmas I will be treating myself to two more. But is Multimonitor worth it.. dont you get the gap between each monitor even though you can get the slim ones. and what does multimonitor benifit besides you have more screen display for gaming. Also how can you wack up the antialiasing and still have an average framerate?

and if you had to choose would you go evga or gigabyte for a 770?
