Part of the article:

"Moving on to our official review system with the the GeForce 770 GTX, during game play, we observed an average load across all CPU cores in the 90-95% range during each of the testing scenarios. However, with the R9 280X, we were observing CPU usage around 80-85%. Initially we began testing with just 8GB of system memory in the review system. After a significant amount of gameplay, we were noticing that 8GB of memory may not provide enough space for the game. We were experiencing memory being swapped out to the hard drive in virtual memory, meaning we were exceeding 8GB of RAM and this was affecting our smoothness and performance."

Also, for the lazy:

"One of the biggest questions that we have been getting is whether 2GB of GPU VRAM memory would be sufficient to play Battlefield 4 at high levels of performance. During our gameplay experience with each card, we observed the actual VRAM usage did not exceed 2GB for each of the tests that we performed. At the 2560x1600 resolution, we typically observed anywhere from 1800MB to 2015MB used at any given time. We find this to be somewhat surprising, as it seemed like it would be likely to exceed the 2GB of VRAM on the 3GB R9 280X. Confirming the 3GB R9 280X, we did not observe video memory usage to exceed 2GB, but it was near the max on the GTX 770."

Great info!

Upgraded to 16gb a little while back to run virtual machines.

Wonder if the ATI cards are actually better or it's just a driver issue.

Been looking at the 770.

AMD paid 8 million to have bf4 showcased on their hardware. The game has been built with a tight Amd partnership. I think the game will run a little better on amd vcards. Also, if at 1920*1080, 2gb of vram should suffice.

Hooah!
