Does the amount of DDR5 matter?

[Zackes]

I'm looking into purchasing one video card, but I'm having difficultly figuring out the difference between the following two:

EVGA GeForce GTX 760 4GB Superclocked ACX Video Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked ACX Video Card

How much of a difference will the two gigs of DDR5 make in terms of performance, temp, and is the extra 40 dollars worth it?

Thanks in advance

would allow you to play at higher res such as 4K resolution. if 1080P, you'll be alright with 2 GB.

What Pierre said. My understanding is that more memory normally allows loading of larger textures which are primarily used/most useful at higher resolutions. At 1080p, I'd save the $40.

Some games, only Watch Dogs that I know of at the moment, require the 4gbs of vram for the highest quality textures though.
The others are right though, the extra vram is mainly for higher resolutions.
