Hey yall, so I recently finished building my first PC, super excited because I absolutely love it. I installed a msi nvidia GTX 750Ti with 2gb vram.

I saw just today by Gigabyte the GTX 750 Ti with 4Gb vram.

It's $25 more including shipping, but I already have the 2Gb card installed. My question here is, should I return the msi and throw the extra $25(plus the ever painful waiting period, which is almost worse) Or run my 2gb card and upgrade to 4gb when it becomes truly necessary?
I have no problems with the card I'm currently running, but I feel like I missed out by only getting 2gb over 4. I check the recommended specs and some games will say 3 or more is recommended, is it that big of a deal? I initially went with 2gb because I was reading that it wouldn't be necessary to get 4, but those recommended specs are getting to me, I like to meet them. Sorry for the novel, just wanted to get my thoughts out there (also my first ever post!).
I want to thank yall collectively for all help, been lurking around these forums nonstop since I learned of this site, it's been so helpful.
 
Solution
The GTX750 is not powerful enough to make much use of more than 2GB: by the time you turn up details and resolution high enough to pass the 2GB mark, the GPU will most likely start bottlenecking on processing power anyway.


if you want to return it , then DO it to get THIS :

$149.99 after $10.00 rebate card
