GTX 760 4gb sc or GTX 770 2gb
Hi i've heard that the ram doesn't matter too much, but the 760 is $280 and the 770 is $340
Which do you think it's better? and yes i have a budget :)  mostly would want to play new games at 60 fps maybe not at ultra but high

The EVGA ACX cooler , Asus DirectCUII cooler, Gigabyte Windforce 3, and the MSI gaming(twin frozr) are all very good cards you can't go wrong with any of them.

@1080p most games will be fine with 2Gb of Vram. If you plan on playing Watchdogs(on ultra) you may want to look at something like the 280x. It is on the same performance level as the 770 but has 3Gb of vram which even at 1080p Watchdogs will use on ultra settings. On my system I have seen it hit 3.6Gb of vram usage(maxed out settings @1080p). In the $300 price range the 280x is the card I would suggest.

I will second that!

Absolutely no regrets. Plays every thing in 1080p on Ultra settings @ 60FPS and does it at a modest 62-64C max in my rig.

It's very simple to explain it actually. High resolution or more than 1 monitor set up requires more Vram. But you can't play with decent settings on a very high resolution using a 760. Being that said, the 770 2gb is the clear winner. Now you ask me... Mr. Penguin, which model do I get? From my own experience, the Asus GTX 770 DirectCU II OC has one of the best stock cooling among the available options in the market.

You are right, 2gb vs 4gb does not matter much.

Clearly a GTX770 is better. If you budget can handle a GTX770 2gb , buy that.
Otherwise, you will always be wondering if you should have.

GTX 770. The extra VRAM matters if you are playing in really high resolution. For 1080p, 2GB is more than enough.
