Does Frame Buffer Matter?

Howdy People,

          Wondering if its worth the money to get a graphics card with 4GB of GDDR5. or just to get a stock 2GBs. Is there a huge difference in game? or in applications?

 

thanks for any input :)

It mostly depends on the resolution you're running as well as the card. For example, there is absolutely no reason to get 4GB version of a GTX 760 as it doesn't have enough processing power to utilize that extra 2 GB of VRAM.

In general, if you're going above 1080p you should probably get more than 2 GB of VRAM if possible, and if you're planning on using a lot of mods (i.e. skyrim), you'll probably want more than 2 GB of VRAM as well.
