There is a 2GB model of the EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX, and a 4GB, with the 4GB model being only about $60 more. The 2GB seems to be more popular since it has much more reviews, both are 4 stars. If the 4GB model offers twice the VRAM, for only $60 more, why doesnt everyone get the 4gb model or why doesnt it get more attention? Is there any reason I should not get the 4GB model? I mean, games will use more VRAM in the coming years, so why not get the 4gb model? Just seems too good to be true to me, must be a downfall to the 4gb model? So again, why should one not get the 4gb model, and get the 2gb model instead (ignoring the $60 difference)?

Solution
2GB is good enough for 90% of games today, however the reason why there is a 4GB is because 10% of the other games are really demanding and require more than 2GB to play at ultra settings.

4GB is also required for 1440P+ resolutions to play any high quality games at ultra.

Rome2 on ULTRA bench 72FPS and plays better. Some people claim this game is unplayable with any rig-not so-it's just a bad game.
Wargame Red Dragon plays Maxed out at above 70FPS.
Sorry, don't play any FPS shooters...

what monitor do you have and Do you plan on upgrading it soon?
In my opinion, if i have a 1920 x 1080p resolution and under i'd get the 2GB version and everything greater the 4GB.
