660 ti memory
My point is this, in this article they run different tests at different settings that use more memory than others. As they up the settings the 2gb and 3gb don't perform differently and other card actually start to perform better. If the memory causes a handicap on this card beyond 2gb then why get the 3gb? Even if games start using more memory, this test would lead you to believe that the 660 ti can't make use of that memory. I understand this is one test and there may be others saying different. Am I missing something here?

Yes it won't make use of the memory alone but will in SLi.
That is what I said in my post. He is looking for future proofing so I said purchase a 3GB version of whatever you buy and to SLi the card latter to make up for performance. I know it wont effectively make use of the memory.
