I was looking for a graphics card upgrade because BF3 requires at least 1.5gig from the graphics card to run on full
Edit : It seems when I wake up my reading skills are severely affected , just noticed you want the 1.5Gb .
it seems there are a lot of ppl showing off 460 SLI running @Ultra. Tomorrow I'll start cleaning an i5 750 that has 2 460 1Gb SLI, I will install bf3 and make some test of my own.

Even with just 1GB of VRAM, you can come very close to maxing it out. I play BF3 with my 6870 on Ultra setting, minus AA, and hit ~40-45FPS.
But if you're looking, you can even pick up a 6870 with 2GB of VRAM, or even better, a 6950 with 2GB of VRAM... if you have nothing against batting for the Red team.
Yes I do know that , but I do know that you can exceed the Vram usage without major fps breaks.
And plenty of users with 460 Sli are saying they can run it @ ultra. Just look @ the youtube videos on it.
But I also know many users lie about their actual specs , so if anyone here has a 460 Sli and BF3 it would be great :P
There are some test arround like this : http://pcper.com/news/Graphics-Cards...nd-SLI-Scaling
That show that the 460 SLI setup can run it on ultra , usually when the vram usage is over the vram available microstuters apear.
I have 2 460's hanging around here but i dont have BF3 on PC. None of my friends picked it up so i opted out. I have been playing it at my cousins house a bit but his specs are dual 6870's 1gb runs quite fine. I doubt 460's would be the best ever but im fairly certain youd get some nice frames at a quite high setting.
