I have SLI GTX 570s 1.28GBs and during heavy firefights in 64-player maps, I get pretty bad stuttering at times, dropping down from 80-30fps for about 2 seconds and gets unplayable because it stays at 30fps and gets all jerky. I game at 1080p and when I'm on smaller maps, like team deathmatch games, I can run 4x MSAA no problem, it's only on large conquest, I need to turn 4x MSAA down to 2x to get rid of the stuttering.
I have no idea how much VRAM BF3 uses, but I know it eats up a lot. Anyone with 2GB+ cards experience what I'm experiencing? I am looking for 2GB 6970 SLIs or maybe even the 1.5GB GTX 580s. I run everything Ultra and low FXAA with HBAO. I know 570s are monsters, but I spent $700 on video cards and I can't even max out BF3 with fluid FPS, so I'm thinking what if I grabbed two 6970s instead.
