BF3 uses more than 1 GB on high settings over 1920x1080 for example, 1GB is a past thing on high level gaming, today mid range cards packets 1.5 GB usually and top end cards pack even 3 GB on a single GPU as the ATI 7970.

Yes it uses the full 1.5GB in my cards a lot of the time at 1920x1080 with all details on max. Not all the time though, sometimes it hovers around 1.2, 1.3GB.
