I just benched Bioshock Infinite the other day and it uses 2500 MB o the opening level on a 7950. Same game uses 1800 MB max on GTX 670 and gives better frame rates. This is a known fact that Nvidia handles VRAM usage better than AMDs cards... There are some people that even doubt the benefits of extra RAM on the GK104 cards since the cards are optimized for 2GB.
There is a lot of back and forth about Battlefield 4, but no one has stated that you need more than 2GB to max it out.
The point of getting GTX 770s is to drive 5760x1080 resolutions on 3 monitors.
And finally, "maxing out" games is fine but the visual benefits of maxing out MSAA and other tweaks are not worth the framerate dip. You can hardly tell the diference between MSAA X16 and FXAA on a 24 inch monitor. If I'm aiming for a 60 fps VSYNC on 3 monitors, even 2 Titans would have issues playing some games like Farcry 3 and Crysis 3 at 60 fps (BF4 as well prolly). And not becuase of VRAM...

So glad someone sees that FXAA is just fine for most games. I feel like, while MSAA offers slightly smoother edges, the performance hit isn't worth it (and this is with a card that offers 2GB of VRAM).

Yeah is more than fine in my opinion.
But then again I would take my game details down to medium with no AA before I drop the frame rate below 60. Some people may enjoy the scenery but as someone that has been playing on and used to 120 hz monitors, going below 60 fps is very noticable and annoying as hell.
