[Zero Cool]

Interesting. I have seen a 660 with 3GB, but not a 7870 with 3gb. :lol:

Just disable any form of AA.

So does this mean I cannot even run this gave at full graphics with my 2 gtx 690s?

 

[renz496]

You can but when the vram is not enough it can cause slow down.

 

[gomilly]

should i get an hd 7870 for bf4 or gtx 660?

well actually 7870 is faster than 660.

sometimes the devs exaggerate the specs.....when the game releases,many find that they can play really well with their settings...
y would they recommend 3GB DDR5??
is it badly optimised or wat so that it will not run well with lower end cards?

i think it is possible the were told/paid to exadurate the system gpu requirements because they know a lot and i mean a lot of people will buy nothing less than the recommended requirements when upgrading their systems. there is a lot of money to be made by manufacturers exaggerating a few numbers by a little

The reason they recommend 3GB isn't because they're secretly working with Nvidia to sell 4GB cards haha. Battlefield 3 maxed out on my 7970 @ 1080p uses around 1700MB of VRAM. Since BF4 is on a new engine and undoubtedly has better textures, I'm sure the memory requirements are higher than those of BF3. They don't make a card with 2.5GB of VRAM so they recommend 3GB because the game will certainly require more than 2GB when settings are turned all the way up.

People forgetting BF4 will be optimized as drivers start to come out for the game as well just as the same as BF3 trust me they wont leave us hanging and they want the best experience for us as possible

 

[lostmenoggin]

This 660 TI has 3gb...

gomilly is ri8 they do exadurate
i believe BF4 requires 2.5GB vram at 1080p
can anyone suggest how will it perform in ultra at 1366x768?
talking about me....i have FX 8350 and HD7750 1GBDDR5 along with 4GB ram DDR3(will upgrade)
FTR:i played BF3 at ultra with 60fps avg
please someone advice about my rig

Ah ok i though you were talking about true/default ultra preset.

Does this mean GTX 770, 760 and 690 won't run BF4 Since they don't have 3 GB of usable VRam

 

[Apbg10]

Does this mean GTX 770, 760 and 690 won't run BF4 Since they don't have 3 GB of usable VRam

They will be able to run it just fine. People will run BF3 with a 5760x1080 setup on a 2gb card and not have a vram bottleneck. Any of those cards should be easily able to run BF4 at a 1920x1080 setup.

I hit 1650-1700MB VRAM usage in BF3 on Ultra @1080p. I think it will be over 2048MB in BF4 but all that really means is an AA drop for the 2GB cards. Of course this is just my guess, but in the Bioshock Infinite benchmark I hit 1970MB of VRAM usage. It's going to be close.

 

[runnaky]

i hope i can run it at least as good as bf3 with a 5770 and ddr2 1066 ram(4gb)

well m hoping the same bro...
but i dnt thnk il be able to run in ultra.../
i played BF3 at 60fps

 

[koof513]

Do you guys think I will be able to run on ultra?

I7 3770k
12 gb ram
Radeon 7950 twin frozr

ya i think you are going to max it at 1080P about the fps depending on the optimization but keep aa off you won't need it

 

[UM Mido]

I hope If i can Max it with aa

my pc

Sapphire HD 7870 XT
8gb Of ram Dual Channel
I5-4570 Haswell
Win 7 64bit
Resolution 1360x768

can i max it

You guys think this will be good enough on the High graphics pre-set?
