Hello, i've looked up BF4 on a few websites and it says it requires a 4gb GPU!?

My current build is:

i5- 4670k- OC to 4.3ghz
8 gb RAM
MSI Z87- G43 Mobo
Hyper 212 cooler
Asus GTX 770 2gb
750w PSU

I've inputted these into various websites and it says I could barely play on recommend, yet youtube videos people have the same specs as me, would I be able to run it ultra, and what FPS would I expect?

Many thanks
 
Solution
ultra yes, not sure if it would always be >60 but should be around that area with no worries.
i have a 670, but i dont use ultra, as i want around 120fps

I have about the same build, just a R9 280x, not GTX 770, however the performance is about the same.
On Ultra you should get 50-60 FPS on your rig. You can just lower a few settings to keep the FPS over 60.

Regarding the RAM, BF4 has some bugs that use up too much memory without clearing it, since I have the same issue.
I just installed ClearMem (I think it`s called like this) and it automatically clears the RAM memory for BF4 every 15 minutes (I set it to 5).
I was going to get another 8 GB of RAM to have 16 in total, but now I`m not sure I need it.

A lot of even worse builds "work" at Ultra settings, but can get 10-15 FPS.
The main thing is to maintain a steady 60+ FPS while playing for good gaming experience.

You can have all the settings at Ultra, just tick down the settings from HBAO to SSAO and if FXAA is too blury for you, you can tick it off and these two settings alone would imprive your gaming experience to where you want it. Also, if it's still straining your rig, then tick AA down a few and test which setting works best for you.

Thanks for all the response. I've been messing with the fps and campaign/ combat, I'm running it fully ultra, in casual play about 80 fps, in combat 40-50. I have a 60hz monitor and can hardly tell the difference between then 10 frames
 


with a 60hz monitor, a 770 will get stable 60 fps or more
 
as for the > 60, well i have a 120hz (not bragging though, just saying)
and it is not really useless even with 60hz monitor. even if you dont really see it (because of the 60hz) it also means that your rig can probably push 60 with newer games that will be released, heavier ones i mean because it can handle >60
