4GB (or greater) Graphics Cards

[DJ4MC]

Hello all, I am new to this but will be building a HackPro shortly and I am wondering about graphics cards, specifically this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125462

Which is a GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 I noticed that the buying guide has 2GB cards only.

Thoughts on this? I remember reading somethign on Netkas that the greater than 2 gig limit was achieved.

You could use the 4GB 770 with no problems. You'll only really need it (4GB) if you're running 2 or
more monitors at at least 2K resolution. Otherwise just get the 2GB version.

Perfect, thank you. I'm going to be running FCP X and Motion so was not sure.
