i currently have a gtx 560 ti 1gb and battlefield 3 is just scoffing my memory... i dont have a clue how sli works with memory so is it better for me to get another 1gb or 2 2gb or add in a 2gb card
another 1GB card or 2 2GB cards

if you have 2 1gb cards in SLI it will still only have 1gb as it renders the image on both cards. you need a 2 gb card to have more useable v ram
try turning settings down a bit to free up some v ram maybe?

so if i get a 2GB card and put it in the first slot i will have 2GB mem?

No it will always be the mem amount of the lowest card so in your case 1 GB. You would have to buy two 2GB cards to get 2gb ram

BF3!?
That is BS (no offence). Even my 680 on the least intensive moments uses 1.4gb.

get rid of the 560ti and spend the money you were using to get another, on a 670 or 680 if you can afford it.
i got a second 560ti for the exact same reason, my BF3 was not running at the specs i wanted. spent an extra £180 and got 2fps extra
take it from someone who made the same mistake i never listened to the advice i was given
