Hello I am new, first post but have a noobie question. I am building my own comp soon, and about to order on newegg but have some questions about the GPU that I should order. I am mainly building the comp for gaming (BF3, Skyrim, Dota2, etc). My question is whether to get 1gb or 2gb card (HD 6950). I am going to be playing at a max of 1920X1080 res, so would I get notable differences with the 2gb vs the 1gb at that resolution? The 2gb is about 80-100 bucks more and I don't want to be spending money if I am not getting performance upgrades. From what I've read, the 2gb gives notable performance only at the uber high resolutions, so I just need some advice/clarification, because I'm rather new at this
Specifically the cards I am looking at are here (Sapphire sold out
