4 gig vs 2 gig. What are the benefits of 2 more gigs of memory in this gpu?

It's similar to RAM. Graphics cards pull graphics data from the hard drive and stores it in VRAM. When you have more VRAM the card can store more data and access it faster. So 4GB can store more graphics data than a 2GB.

There are 4 Gigs on the card itself that's dedicated to the video. In addition it can use 4GB of the system memory allowing it to use a total of 8GB total.

Is it posable, yes... is it recommended..OH HELL NOI would recommend that you remove both 2gb and replace with the two 4gb.. The way RAM works, is in a way that it will use both ports at the same time, and having two different sticks is only asking for trouble.. Where as if both are spec the same, they would operate at the same rate.

they say 4 gigs. i will tell you this. everything i run on my home built rig {M/B asus rampage 2 extreme, 16 gigs ram, intel quad core i7 3.2 ghz and 500 gig ssd hd} is smoking fast. best vid card i have ever used. make sure you buy from EVGA they have the absolute best customer service. i had a card from them that went bad after 2 years of use sent it back and they replaced it with a better one than the one i had sent them. you can't beat that.

Most of the ones selling on amazon have NVIDIA Dual SLI GT650M so it's two card with two gigs each for a total of 4 gigs all together I can play a lot of games on it with the seeting set to high/ultra and still get a decent frame rate in the range of 40/60 frames a second sometimes even more.

The Vram (video memory) is only for textures in a game or graphics program. Has nothing to do with anything else. More memory means more textures which translates to sharper & more detailed image on the screen. If you are a gamer, you would like the 4gb Vram card for better clarity. For normal usage, a 2gb card would be better.

NO, when you look at what titan was designed to do (computing).Anytime i have that much gpu power (780/titan/780 Ti), less than 4gb vram will bottleneck the card...

４ｇｂhowever only 2 is utilized so what it is doing is half for storing and half for displays i think there was a video online about this however it says 4gb but it is only 2gb utilized for displays so get a second 760 or an r9 280x for multimonitor gaming if single monitor save some money and get the 2gb version and get 2 of them

My driver was a mid-range board at low cost and TWO ports for DVI. I can only compare differing NVIDIA products but "better" is in the eye of the beholder. They both use 2GB worth of GDDR5 memory at 128-bit. The tipping point would be which features on each card are triggered by your favorite game(s).

The difference is purely the amount of VRAM it has. Some higher end Games and Programs use more VRAM. The more VRAM the more CPU power can handle other services instead of Video Rendering. I grabbed the 4GB because I plan on playing high end games on my PC. With games like Shadow of Mordor asking for Recommended Specs of: 6GB VRAM on the Video Card. I opted for 4GB over 2GB. I am also running 2 monitors with it flawlessly.

The A10-4600M also has 512mb VRAM, but it is a slightly better IGPU; I went from the A4-4300M to the A10 and noticed a massive difference.

Only if the game exceeds 1GB for buffering and textures. Now a days, I think you are better getting a 2GB card. Usually you'll get the same max fps, but more video memory really helps to improve the minimum fps. This is because if you run out of video memory, it has to pull from ram or load more textures on the fly, which will give you a system hit, resulting in lower fps. If you were to play older games or games where you don't exceed the 1 gigabyte, you will notice very little or no difference at all. -OBR

Well I personally got the 4GB card just because I am running multiple monitors. If you are only using one monitor I would recommend 2G. There is not much of a difference between them and you will not notice a difference if you have a single 1080p monitor

For me, the important difference is that this card has 2GB of memory while the one I purchased has 4GB of memory. I'm a 3d-art hobbyist and use an unbiased-renderer that depends on the GPU. I can build a scene using the 4GB card with a complexity that requires twice the memory of the 2GB card. This makes a big difference for me. Gigabyte is a solid brand, they feature a well designed heat sink. I'm extremely happy with my purchase of the GTX760 4GB card.

That all depends on what you are doing and what your OS is. If you have an x32 OS then the most the system can use is 4GB. If you are doing any sort of power gaming I would recommend more.

I have no personal experience. I suppose it would depend on how many GPUs you are planning on using -- I suspect no problem with two. More might be pushing it. So far I like the case.

It depends on how much you want to store. Two gigs is a bunch of memory, but I bought one, because I cover a lot of meetings.
