Ah, nice. I have to run BF4 on medium without ambient occlusion(?), but with high texture quality and filtering at 1280x1024 (my default resolution, currently sporting a HD5870). I was thinking about getting a Geforce 670 with the Asus DirectCUII cooler for quietness, but was also fearing that my CPU (i5 760) would bottleneck it all anyway, so I'm saying to myself that I'll make do with my rig for one more year before giving it a more complete upgrade.

Wow, did you save up for it or did you find some extra money in the budget? That's a pricey card. I've got the GTX 770 4GB and BF4 plays great with high settings. Bit of regret since I got it 3.5 months before the price drop, so I didn't qualify for the EVGA trade-up program.

Question: does anyone know if having a second monitor connected while playing fullscreen on your main monitor causes framerate drop and weakened gpu performance? That used to be the case with older cards, but I don't know if it still applies to the newer gen cards.
