TL;DR: If you game at 2560x1600 or use Eyefinity it is a good idea to have over 1GB of VRAM.
To quote from the article:

I picked a couple of the games that were running plenty-fast in the previous CrossFire chart and added 8xAA to them
I didn't state that 2GB would be useless with massive amounts of AA combined with 3 monitors.

However, looking at the 5760x1080 single card section, I still only see a difference of 1 - 3 frames.

So yes, if you want to run 5760x1080 with 8xAA then 2GB will be worth it for you. But realistically, the number of people who even run eyefinity is miniscule, let alone those who think that 8xAA is necessary. Everyone else will not notice a difference between 1GB and 2GB VRAM, so I think most of them would prefer having 1GB of VRAM and lower costs on the cards.
