2GB is overkill. I don't see how 2gb would provide any benefit over a 1gb card.

It's a 4870, and those are already going for under $120 after MIR for the 512mb. Spending $200 makes no sense when you can get a 512mb or 1gb for $120-$150.

The graphics load faster with 2 gigs of video ram rather than 1.

Bandwidth, not the size, of memory dictates load times. Increasing from 1 to 2 won't make graphics load faster.
