I would go for hitting the recommended video card with 3gb.

I find it quite funny that neither of the cards recommended for BF4 are available in 3GB version.

There are some available

Amazon.com: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SIGNATURE2 3072MB GDDR5 DVI mHDMI DP Graphics Card 03G-P4-2667-KR: Computers & Accessories

2 GB of VRAM is more then enough for 1080p, heck its more then enough for 1600p (2560x1600 which I have). The VRAM only becomes a real bottle neck when you go beyond a single 120Hz monitor, i.e. triple 3D screens. Unless you have a triple monitor setup for gaming, you DO NOT need more then 2 GB of VRAM.

I played Crysis, 2, 3 all at 2560x1600 with a GTX 690 which only has 2 GBs per GPU, nothing has ever gotten close to maxing out my VRAM. Then again, I also do not play with a stupid amount of Anti-Aliasing, just a minor level of AA is enough.

There are a few games that will hit the 2GB mark @ 1080P, but they are in the minority. (Metro springs to mind)

But yep, 2GB is certainly adequate - even with triple screens. 2GB hasn't really been an issue for me either as long as the AA is reasonable like you said. Having a 3GB card isn't really going to be a magic FPS bullet.

OP, you're still going to have lower a few details anyway - but for the best chance of higher visuals with the highest FPS, aside from the extra Vram, a gtx 660 isn't really that much of an upgrade from your 570.

A gtx 760, 770 or 7970 is what you really need to be looking at for the best quality and gameplay.

get a GTX 770
