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.

I still wonder if Battlefield will be doing as much as Metro: Last Light. With the advanced, unprecedented use of tech in that game, I can't imagine BF4 requires much more than it. Then again, depending on optimization, it should make sense that BF4 wouldn't.

Still, those requirements are like any other PC requirements. They get to the point. There's just nothing solid claiming BF4 will require 2GB of RAM for textures. Mere speculation.

While it's true metro LL looked amazing, have you seen the textures? They are they are pretty low res in some parts compared to the overall quality of other aspects. That's intentional. nvidia payed them them to optimize for nvidia cards, and it would be a pretty poor optimization job if they couldn't max it out with their flag ship card and amd could.
