Its true on a budget
Got mixed reviews now 1gb or 2gb
After some searching the memory on the graphics card is one of the least important things i think depend's also on the processor ,motherboard etc Most of the games 1gb is more than enough it also depends on core clock speed 1gb or 2gb not much difference (google)
if i go for 2gb will it cause other problems like support issues in future (like my mob or processor wont support have to change it)
Support issues wont be a problem. If your processor and motherboard can support it now, it can support the same graphics card in the future also. And AMD driver support is quite good, from what i have heard. Believe me, it wont be a problem.
Its always better to go for more VRAM only "IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT". If a couple of thousand rupees hurts your pocket, then go for the HD6950 1GB edition. Its one of the best performing cards out there for your budget.
Now you decide, bro. The choice is, was and always will be in your hands. We wont point a gun at your head and force you to buy anything. So cheers mate and let us know your final decision

BMG ftw!!
No. I suggested you to go with 2GB is budget permits.
So, after all these conversations you should go with 2GB edition of 6950.

^^ I think you mean Asus MAXIMUS Gene-Z. Rampage is the ROG mobo for the Intel Extreme Edition processors. ExtremeGamer has the Rampage III for his first generation i7. Rampage IV is for X79. Maximus Gene-Z is the micro-ATX ROG motherboard for Sandy Bridge series core i processors.

^^ Yea
Ok then 2gb it is no doubt about it 4sure
Were 2 buy which is the best (Also Company's)
Sapphire/MSI/Powercolor AMD Radeon HD 6950 2 GB GDDR5
OR
MSI/Zotac/Asus GTX560Ti 2GB DDR5
GTX560Ti 2GB DDR5 has a bit more clock speed and DDR5 speed & less power usage
Between both of them which has a better updates & supports for future

OPTION 1
1) If you're planning to buy to 2GB version of HD6950.I will suggest either go with MSI or Sapphire.*www.msi.com/product/vga/R6950-Twin-Frozr-III-Power-Edition-OC.html
2)If you couldn't find the above suggested Graphics then next option will be
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II 2GD5/OC. Which is a overclocked version of nVidia 560Ti chip, its clocked at 880 MHz and Memory clocked at 4008Mhz.I have the same graphics card, only difference is i have the 1GB version with me.
P.S-Always higher core and memory speed doesn't mean that its powerful.In stock speed AMD HD6950 is more faster than nVdia GTX560Ti.But a overclocked nVidia GTX560Ti will give tough competition to AMD HD6950.
OPTION 2
If you're looking for 1GB version of AMD HD6950 or Nvidia GTX560Ti.
Then look no further and get MSI GTX560Ti Hawk.Its super clocked edition.The core speed is 950MHz and Memory clock runs at 4200Mhz.And another thing it has MSI Twin Frozer III cooler, its terrific cooler.You can even overclocked the Hawk to 1000Mhz core speed without any overheating problem.
Check some review of MSI N560GTX-Ti Hawk

if you cant get 2GB HD6950, get 1GB HD6950. reason -
Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti Super Overclock Graphics Card Review - Test System and Methodology
a 830MHz-850MHz HD6950 = 1000MHz GTX560Ti.
and you may even unlock shaders to get HD6970 performance for no overclocking hassles.
but a 2GB HD6950 is worth the extra bucks. more VRAM benefits in AA. and from my experience heavy games are already touching 1GB VRAM wall!!

MSI GTX560Ti 2GB is 15.5k~. 1GB will be 14.5k~
Hawk = 15k~
both msi and sapphire have excellent service!
