Looks at msi gtx 780 lightning thanks overclockers her legs will be stretched on BF4 real soon
Madness jumping the gun considering there will be an AMD anouncement in 15 days, you could save quite a bit if the 780's drop in price-if that's the card you want.

Its of little use with no game or driver optimizations and most of the textures missing though. At least the vram is likely to be similar, maybe more usage considering some textures are missing.
If that benchmark is true then the live stream which was shown from gamescon using 2x7970ghz edition cards would not have been playable or smooth. But as we know from this video, it clearly is.

Holy unoptimized game batman
Just watched some gameplay videos on youtube and the graphics look exactly like bf3.
Looks like that 1.5gb gtx 580 is holding up well though

Youtube videos can be misleading. I remember recording something at 30fps and was obviously very laggy while playing, but when uploaded to youtube the video looked really smooth :/

It is the card i have lol and have you ever seen a gamer on pc's thats sane we all spend loads on our pc's lol
I gave you two links with benchmarks that showed no change in framerates whatsover.
And we've given you a recent link that shows that the extra 2gb on the 680 4gb at multi monitor res is providing a smoother experience due to the extra ram than its 2gb brother. These are only single player maps so vram usage will be much lower than if you were playing online.

Im sure my 2GB 670 will be fine, its been playing Crysis3 maxed out (apart from 2x AA) at 2560x1440 and doing ok.
I wonder how many fools go out and buy 6gb cards now for single monitor as they've seen the recommended specs and they always like to have double that. This forum generally offers good advice but when I have a look elsewhere some people really are clueless.
Indeed. It seems fairly obvious to me that to run Ultra with X4AA at 1440/1600p you're going to need a 3gb card. Why else would 3gb be in the recommended requirements? Last year it was 2gb recommended requirements and generally that limit is not exceeded on single screen in Battlefield 3.
The limits have not been increased for no reason. Dice would not do that if there is no chance of more than 2gb being used.

so nothing to do with sales and cards being released just before it comes out ?
this is the only game worth upgrading a powerful card they going to go hard to try and get you to buy new cards for it as there is nothing else for 1 year !
sales brah all spin .

The recommended spec isn't a problem really. It means that or higher. So in preference you should have 3GB VRAM or higher, and a 670/7870 or higher. They're not going to say the 7950/780 (to meet both at reference models), but it's clear that 3GB is going to make a difference in one way or another.

My GTX670 with 2GB of RAM runs Crysis3 maxed out (apart from Anti Aliasing as you don't need so much at these resolutions) at 2560x1440 on my Asus PB278Q monitor.
It plays it ok and isn't a juddery mess.
I expect it will play BF4 just fine.
