What is VRAM?

Solution
Hi there,

Your GTX770 will handle BF4 at 1680x1050 just fine. In the recent Toms Hardware benchmark of BF4 the 770 (with 2GBVRAM) ran BF4 at all the highest setting (Ultra 4xMSAA) at 1920x1080 with an average 49 FPS.

It should have no issues giving you a smooth 60FPS on all the highest settings at your lower resolution.

With a GTX 770 I would strongly recommend eventually investing in a high resolution screen, 2560x1440 at the least. You will never be able to look at 1920x1080 again, let alone 1680x1050 which will now look like your grandmas old tv (640x480).

VRAM = Video RAM, meaning the memory installed on the graphics card. Your 2GB GTX 770 has 2GB VRAM. This technically isn't great for BF4, but those requirements are a bit exaggerated. Your 770 will do fine in BF4, especially since you play at a relatively low resolution (VRAM usage increases with resolution).

VRAM is virtual memory assigned to your graphics card. Your 2GB card has 2GB of dedicated RAM physically installed onto the card. For the BF4 requirement of 3GB VRAM, your system will need to provide an additional 1GB of system memory to your graphics card. Since Windows Vista was released, this is done automatically/as needed.

In short, yes, your graphics card can handle BF4.
