It will depend on what card you have and the settings you plan on running them at

You will be able to run them @ 1080p on those settings but you might the occasional dip in frame rate if the memory fills up. I can play BF3 on almost ultra settings with 1GB @ 1080p 40FPS average but i get the odd dip to 20fps for a second or so.

With those cards, 1 GB is enough for 1080p, but I'd get the 2 GB variant of the 7850 because it shouldn't be much more expensive. Faster cards that are capable of running games at higher settings can make use of more VRAM.
