I just have to laugh at this... first it's called Battlefield, then they put the 290 next to a 760...

Dunno why you guys are arguing about this, its not the first game to have weird requirements and it won't be the last .
Anyone in their right mind that has even basic hardware knowledge won't assume a 760 beats a 290 because of this.
Its clearly a driver/optimisation thing or dare i say,even marketing involved. Although i was under the impression that battlefield is an amd title.

Another crappy system req. 290 will destroy 760 any game. Difference is over 50% so i call this BS.

I played previous beta and it was a disaster. The game felt like plastic. I can't imagine this game having any multiplayer community 3 months after launch.
Even putting ideological aspects aside, I don't know how they want to make people buy & play this game.
