I was looking at the 2 EVGA ones and the price difference really isn't that much. I was wondering if it would be worth it to pay a little more to get the 2 gig card. Is performance that much better? Any suggestions would be great :)
 
Depends on the game, some games really make use of VRAM, and that extra GB could make a lot of difference. If the price difference isn't much ($1-30), I would say it would be worth it.

If you like GTA IV, that's useful to get the 2GB, and in this case the GTX 285's bandwidth is good enough so it won't cause a performance decrease like other memory souped up cards..

Just make sure you get getting a GDDR3 GTX 285, because sometimes they fool you with 2GB and its a GDDR2
 
When did they release the 2GB version? I had no idea this even existed. It must have been very recent.

Yeah this was completely new news to me and I just bought my 280 GTX a week ago. I must not have researched enough, though, $409 is still over my budget for a GPU anyway.
 
If your going with a single card setup I'd say go for the 2GB model. If your going to be running SLI I don't think you'll need the extra memory.

Or you can follow my more is always better theme :D
