Enough for Battlefield 3 in 3D

[lunky545]

Hey all,

Trying to play Battlefield 3 in 3d @ 1920 X 1080 on ultra with the following rig:

i7-3930k (stock clocks w/ Noctua NH-d14)
X79 G1.assassin2
16gig DDR 3 2133 g.skill mem
3 X GTX 470
Ocz Agility 3 240gig
Corsair ax1200 PSU
Asus 27" Vg278h 3d monitor (3d vision 2 - couldn't wait anymore for something better to come along; will be arriving in a couple days)
(g13/g19/g9 z-5500 5.1)

My major concern is my lack of Vram on my cards (1.2 gigs), will i be stuck @ high or just have to use bare minimum of AA filtering on ultra?

Thoughts, benchmarks, etc very much appreciated

Thank you for your time.

The Vram is fine for a single monitor but starts lacking for a multi monitor setup!

BF3 maxed out at 1080p uses ~1,4GB VRAM without 3D, so you'll have to tune it down a bit.

This is single player though, not sure if there's difference in VRAM usage on big multiplayer maps and with 3D on.

Turn down the AA. It will decrease the VRAM usage the most.
