Will 2 7770 1gb cards in crossfire be able to handle Battlefield 4

[lakerboy]

I currently have a 7770 in my system and i thought that instead of getting a new and better card, I could just get a second 7770 and run in crossfire, but im not sure if the 1 gb of vram will be enough for Battlefield 4 at 1680x1050.

My specs are
Gigabyte 7770 1gb
AMD FX 8150 @ 4.2 ghz
8gb ddr3 1600 ram

the 1gb vram will be a limitation, you will have to sacrifice texture-detail/draw distance/aa/resoluton, otherwise your play experience will become choppy as it flips from vram, across the pcie bus, to slow system memory, and back to vram again. much better off selling the card and buying a better single card with 2gb of vram.

The requirements for BF4 were 3gb of video memory... so not as well as you would hope

i have found in the beta it doesnt use more than 1.7gb vram at 1080p ultra settings, so a 2gb card is fine.

I think the 3GB thing is a bit optimistic, I'm at 1440p all ultra no AA, its using a few MB over 2GB. If you have a 2GB card you aren't going to be maxing the game out anyway. Put 4x MSAA on and it goes up to 2.5GB though.

It'll handle it just fine. The 1GB will be a disadvantage but you should expect at least medium settings or better. It's always better to crossfire or SLI to leverage the power of the card you already have. Two HD 7770s in crossfire would put you between the HD 7950 and HD 7970. That's your best bet for sure.

I have two HD 7850s and they work for everything but Battlefield,
