PC - Whats your PC Specs? - View Post

I'm not saying you're lying, I just can't find anything that confirms this. It's a big deal for a guy like me, who's now taking VRAM much more serious when considering GPU purchases.

Edit: This should provide some perspective:

Battlefield 4 system requirements

The minimum PC system requirements for Battlefield 4 are expected to be:

  • Dual core CPU (Intel Core i5 or AMD “Bulldozer”).
  • At least 2 GB main system memory
  • Graphics card with at least 256 MB of VRAM and support for DirectX 10
  • 20+ GB of harddrive space
  • Windows Vista

Recommended system requirements

The recommended PC system requirements for optimal visual quality and frame rates:

  • Quad core CPU (Intel Core i5 or i7) at 3 Ghz
  • 4 GB memory (8 GB for 64-bit operating systems)
  • A modern DX11 graphics card with 1 GB of video memory, GeForce 600 series or Radeon 7000 series
  • Windows 7 64-bit operating system
  • 20+ GB of free harddrive space

I didn't know that the system requirements were already out for bf4. recommended doesn't ever mean maxed out though. That's the settings to run it well. Also, those requirements aren't very specific. I'm talking max textures and everything else that is heavy on RAM usage will almost certainly use more than 2gb ram. All the signs point to it, when I've seen bf3 map packs getting close to 2 gb. Crysis was also getting close to 2gb. Assuming the Bf4 will be the best looking game when it comes out (past trends say it will), it's going to use decently above 2gb on max. So back to my original point. It's a bad idea to get a 770 sli because it's barely going to utilize all that horse power with only 2 gb ram. Especially when talking about a 3 monitor setup. Also that upgrade is hardly worth it if you have two 7950's already.
