2gb vs 4gb?

[AceHaven]

I'm building a new gaming rig, and i was wondering do I need 4GB of VRAM? I can fit a 160$ card into my budget, and I'm going to do light to moderate 180p gaming.

I would try to shoot for the GTX 960 4Gb if you can, though it'll be more like $170.

Really? The cheapest one I could find is 200$.

You don't need more than 2gb of vram for a mid range card. I'd try for a R9 380 or GTX 960 but even the cheapest 2gb versions of those cards are $165-$170.
