BF4 Recommends 3GB Of VRAM?

Hardware Hub GPU

Hey guys, I am kind of concerned and wandering if you can shed some light here, will I be fine with a GTX670 2GB, and by fine I mean maxed out at 1080p with 60FPS, is missing some VRAm a big issue, some people said it will also page standard RAM from the MOBO, so tell me if I should be worried or not guys, I haven't been able to sleep !

I'm pretty sure you will be fine. There's no immediate need for 3GB of Vram at 1080p. I understand that it is in the recommended requirements, but 2GB shouldn't hold you back. Most people are using 2GB GPUs as a standard, and the developers are not going to exclude that level of hardware.

The 670 is still very good card.

Thanks for some closure, it pisses me off that most of the 3GB radeon cards can't fit in my case

I'd worry about that in another couple of years. You can grab a good cheap case with your next GPU lol.

I will be very suprised if BF4 manages to fill 3 GB, since bf3 never even managed to fill 2 GB.

I mean seriously: I play bf3 on 5040x1050 @ crossfire, it never went higher than ~3900MB (needs to be divided by 2)

I simply do not believe that the engine bf4 is THAT much heavier. Its DICE just being cautious I gamble.
