Lux is right about one thing. It doesn't matter if a card has a 256 bit bus if the ram speed is slower than a card with 192 bit bus. That's all the bits stand for in these cards is the bus width. You should really be looking at memory bandwith, not just bits.

That's kind of the point I was trying to make much earlier on in the thread. Besides, I think we may be straying way off topic of the OP in this case anyway since all he really cares about is increasing render speed with GPU. The most important thing when it comes to rendering with GPU is the number and frequency speed of the cores. VRAM is also of secondary importance for being able to handle larger scenes and more textures, but almost all GPU render engines rely on Cuda cores for speed.
