Why GFX card with more RAM?

Also keep in mind that the game is using a deferred rendering pipeline. That means that the game is rendering to multiple buffers - all of which take up space that is directly tied to resolution.

Name one that uses 2.5 gb vram with no AA or AF applied. Crysis2 and BF3 use 1-1.5 gB with 16x AA and 16x AF and there is no sim that uses 2.5 Gb with no AA and AF. CoD uses so much, not because it is so complex, it is because it is not optimized. That is why they are redoing the graphics engine.

BTW, I'm not being negative here, I'm being positive. When this is optimized there will be hope for those with less than 3 Gb ram.
