Well according to EA/DICE on their system requirements for Battlefield Hardlines.

Kind demanding specs considering this is what most people are calling a BF4 expansion.

Does the 760 have 3gb of vram?

the 760 is outright demolished by a 290.

also lol a 3gb 760, you'd need to go minimum 780 to get that.

OP you already know this isn't true and you already know min/rec specs don't mean much. Why you trying to stir the pot?

Take game requirements with a gain of salt these days. I am not letting a discussion like this go further.
