its extremely doable
my new rig isn't even going to break the 1100-1200 mark and I'm sure it'll play bf4 but I'm not holding my breath for the ultra settings <--my rig with ~$1500 i'm sure it'll happen ps: we're buddies on origin and steam but I've yet to play any game with you lol

A friend and I did a real world test just to see. I had a single 670 4gb, he had a single 680 4gb. Neither were superclocked. He only outran me by 1-2 FPS. He lost a bet that day. He swore that he'd outrun my vid card by at least 15 FPS. If you've got the pocket for it by all means, go big or go home. Me personnaly, if I did it again today, I'd still run 2 of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00966IRL8/?tag=pcpapi-20

Though I don't have a 680 to compare my 670 to. I've ran it on my PC (3770k OC'd 4.5ghz) in sli vs the 7970 in xfire as well below are just 2 of my benchmarks I've ran. Galaxy reference 670s GTX 670s SLI http://www.3dmark.com/fs/305686 Visiontek reference 7970s(bios flashed to Ghz Editions) Radeon HD 7970 xfire http://www.3dmark.com/fs/332153 for solos I ended up only doing the AMD card solo on my intel pc :( I ran the 670 solo on my fx cpu

the 670 is only slightly behind the 680(and the 7970 Ghz Ed.) 670 4gb version = ~$450 (just guessing a near avg) 680 4gb v. = ~$550 (again..just guessing near avg) 7970 Ghz Ed. 3gb = ~$450 what we were saying is, with the 670 slightly behind the 680 in performance, the cost value isn't really justified. from playing at 1600x900 resolution (slightly smaller than 1080 btw) crysis 3 on my 670 (2gb version) was being used ~95% of its RAM. trade off between the 670 and 7970 ghz ed. Being around the same price: AMD: faster clocks / beating/matching 680 now only 3gb of ram Nvidia: slightly slower than 680 more RAM than 7970 less power hungry actually, let me restate that... for the $450 market I'd pick the GTX 670 4gb model if I was in the $550 market I'd get the 7970 6gb Ghz Ed. model EDIT: BUT since you're playing on a tv just get 670 :P
