3GB or 1.5 GB VRM

So, I have a choice to make

Should I go with the MSI gtx 580 lightning, or the extreme edition

Keep this review in mind

Like the reviews states ; if you can afford it . . . Extreme ! The extra vram will be usefull i think in future games.

I most certianly would have gotten 3 of those with the water blocks(Hydro Copper). Those water blocks have a small fan inside

I would just get a 1.5gb unless you are running higher than 1080P right now. Hopefully high end 600 series come with 2gb of ram.
