As a good rule of thumb, the more video RAM the card has the better, other considerations are secondary as you're unlikely to notice significant performance differences between two card.
Just curious, why wouldn't you be using a workstation card instead of a gaming card?

It's the distinction between how a car performs under optimal conditions on a test track and how reliable and comfortable it is when you're stuck in grid-lock. Sure it can go a lot faster, but you're not driving it that way, so why pay more? Manufactures hype benchmarks because they're engineers, and that's what's important to them as they develop the product, not because it doesn't translates into gains for the end user.
What do you think of these benchmark numbers then? It appears there is a very big difference between them.
