Battlefield 4 Recommended Requirements - 3GB Vram

Keep watching the lovely trees and let us play the objective, we will get you the win ;)

In all serious though i don't know many if any competitive players that have the settings maxed, no matter what setup they have; so im not really worried.

I by no means competitive, like playing in clans etc. But I do hate loosing and play the objective everytime I play.

I pay good money to run the game at high graphics plus frame rate.
Just because someone plays on high settings don't mean they noob at the game.
Like I said before my stats prove other wise, while there not the best stats I sure do stand up.

There is more to just 'caching' the vram or running out.

Pcper showed the difference extra vram makes in regards to smoothness between 2Gb 4Gb 680's on BF3.

Our friends at EVGA were kind enough to send us some 4GB versions of the GTX 680 so we could test how much the additional frame buffer affects performance and potentially stutter in SLI configurations.

Frame Rating: BF3 High End GPUs Benchmarked at 4K Resolutions

2GB GTX 680 the lone outlier with some noticeable and significant spikes and jumps in performance. The fact that the 4GB variant does not exhibit that problem tells us that the 2GB frame buffer is just not enough to keep up

Both the Titan and the HD 7970 have the best / lowest frame time variance with the GTX 680 2GB coming in last. It is interesting to see the added frame buffer of the 4GB GTX 680 making a noticeable difference in potential stutter.

A pair of Titans in SLI are doing well at keeping the frame rate near or above the 60 FPS mark and the GTX 680 4GB cards in SLI can almost hit 50 FPS.

The GTX 680 4GB frame times are also noticeably tighter and doesn't exhibit nearly as many spikes in frame times as the 2GB models do.

I find it very interesting that the GT 680 4GB cards from EVGA in SLI mode exhibit much less potential stutter than the 2GB cards, in line with the GTX Titans.

I'm going to be very surprised if BF4 is not just a reskin of BF3 Alpha.

Not got long to go now and all will be revealed, either way, I'm sure some cards will play better than others...

Turn Aero off if you're hitting VRAM wall, should give you a few extra settings...
As for the tripe BF3 needs 2.5GB for 5760x1080....Here's two user reviews of 2GB 680 SLI @5760x1080, neither hit a VRAM wall...funny that.

Add Aero and you'll get that ~ 2,5GB.

However, let me put it in some other way - BF 3 can go north of 2GB. In 1050p it stays bellow 1,5GB. I don't know how much THAT will show on some simple numbers, but it is there. At the beginning it starts from 1,7-1,9Gb+ vRAM, map depending.

How our colleague went just a little bit over 1,8GB at a higher resolution, I do not know... or care. But I do care to have some better texture in the next games, not only the obvious ones, but some "secondary" as well: dashboards, land, walls, etc.

I remember in the old CS days people would turn settings to min, turn brightness/gamma/contrast way up, replace the player skins with solid bright pink. It's not all about framerate, it's about cheating as much as poss without getting banned.

AnNuM i still remember this notorious CS 1.6 configger who played med/high and got a bad rep for it too :D

Yea im sitting in this big bushy DX 11 rendered bush and someone has the bush trimmed down to a DX 8 weed and is laughing at my over exposed ass.You need 120fps to be honest though turning it down to achieve big fps on a 60fps monitor is downright legal cheating you *******s ;)

Agreed, I mean if someone struggles to run the game, and has no choice to lower settings then fine.
But if someone is running crossfire 7970 or sli titan and runs low settings there is no excuse.
 
Wait so win8 is BF4 more optimised ?!

So one has to shell out for Win8 just to get better fps.....

I will wait I think for performance benchies between win7 vs 8

Personally, I only turn a couple of things down to lessen the blinding effect of all the smoke and debris.
My K/D ratio is crap anyway and I just play it for the fun of the fight. Nothing more.
