My options are GTX 560 TI with 1GB or 2GB memory. This would be an easy choice since at this resolution the games I play don't require more than 1 GB of vram, however I'm not sure about COD.
Should I go with 2GB or 1GB for vram? What am I loosing if I go with only 1 GB?

P.S. the 2GB version has a higher price (+50 eur).

The 2Gb should help a bit in my opinion as CloD hogs up quite a bit of vRAM. I run at 1920x1200 on high settings and still get pretty good FPS with mine. But my base system is pretty solid too. So at 1680x1050 it should run really well at higher settings, assuming that the rest of your system is pretty fast. As for the 1Gb version... I have no real world experience with it, so I don't know exactly how it would perform. But i suggest the 2Gb. Why hinder yourself by not having enough vRAM?
