Question Why one 4GB GPU costs more than two 2GB GPUs?

[Mahmud8421]

I wanted to buy a GPU for my PC. While I was looking at the price list, I got confused. Cause I noticed that one 4GB GPU costs more than two 2GB GPUs. Generally we notice that the more the space, the less the price in ratio. It happens with RAM, SSD or even HDD. But why not with GPU??

Here is the Price List : 2GB GPU & 4GB GPU

Because vram amount of graphics card is not the main performance determining factor.
Value of graphics card is determined by performance of it.

So, do you mean, one 4GB GPU is more powerful than two 2GB GPUs? But in case of RAM, SSD and HDD this idea is completely opposite?

I meant - amount vram doesn't mean anything.
Well it means something but it's not as important as performance class of GPU chip.

For example compare GTX 770 2GB and GT 730 4GB.
GTX 770 is much faster and costs much more than GT 730 .

There are many hard drives that are smaller in size but higher in price due to faster speeds, and some older ones are higher priced due to sellers just pricing them that way.

Memory amount is a very small thing when it comes to video card speeds or cost. Do you price cars by how large they are or how many doors they have? Not everything goes "more = pricier".
