Oh i know, I just prefer the old classic windows XP look personally. 

@ proctus I don't have Skyrim to test for you, wish I did as it would be a good test. I accept free copies from Steam
 
I'd really want to wait until multiple good Surround reviews are out on the 4GB models, but my testing shows it's impossible to get many of my games to reach that 2GB ceiling and the ones I can get to hit it which makes me believe that the ceiling can be a bottleneck, SLi doesn't seem to have the gpu power to make any higher settings playable anyway if I did have more mem.
 
Without those 4GB Surround reviews that I want, I personally only think TRi and Quad SLi will have the GPU power to use higher settings on games that will easily cross the 2GB ceiling. So if you game triple screen and are doing TRi or Quad, you def want the 4GB model imo. Single or SLi, the 2GB should do fine.
 
Side Note: I think the jury is in when it comes to a single 4GB 680 trying to run that res, you're wasting ~$80 on +2GB that your gpu will never be able to utilize.

Alan Wake is another game that no matter the settings, just does not come close to 2GB vram. At "High" settings, it only uses
1600MB in this scene compared to the 1525MB shown with Aero On. Granted a DX9 game, but many games are adding up
to not being able to use 2GB vram, or at least 2GB the way Nv has the 680s using them. Still quite a savings when turning Aero Off though.

i've never even thought of disabling aero but you make a compelling point.

Nice work!
