Good info Jaws, I'll add a little more.

To the OP

EVGA has a lifetime waranty with overclocking promoted(so dont waste $ on o.c. cards), register your card with in 30 days and add the 3 day cross shipping for $30 (you call on the phone tell them you want a new card, 3 days later viola)and future issues are all but forgotten.

The step up program offered by EVGA means you can purchase a 580 today and "step up" to a 680 within 90 days if you decide to later.(read all faqs so you know how it works).

Many pc games will use more than 1.5 gb today @1080p(last year for that matter), the reason you have not seen any games use more is they cant on your pc or they are console ports or the settings are turned down.

Here are some games that can use more than 1.5gb and up to 2.5gb vram @1920x1080p:

Crysis 2(hd texture pack)
Shogun2
Metro 2033
Civ5
Il2 Cliffs of Dover

See ya in the air!
