Here are the details.
My rig: i5-3450, 8GB RAM, Seasonic S12ii 620W, MSI H61M-P31 (G3) Mobo, Powercolor 7870 Myst(XT)
I have the latest beta drivers and updated my BIOS. I did some benchmarks with the games I have and with 3DMark11. I haven't overclocked it yet cause I think my budget mobo won't let me.
3DMark 11 score: 7339 Link
GPU Z
These were done on 1920x1080 resolution, and maximum graphics
Metro Last Light: 15-21 FPS
Path of Exile: 60 FPS constantly (60Hz setting)
Rome 2 Total War: FPS fluctuates constantly. Can be as high as 40 FPS zoomed out, and as low as 9 FPS zoomed in on massive battles.
GTA IV w/ Icenhancer ENB: 22-25 FPS
Bioshock Infinite: 50 FPS constantly (50Hz setting)
Battlefield 3: 60 FPS constantly (60Hz setting)
Far Cry 3: 45-50 FPS, sometimes hits 30 FPS when overlooking vast distances.
I did some research on this card and I learned that this is more than enough for 1080p gaming. I noticed it does well on some games (BF3, Bioshock) and completely sucks on others (Metro LL, FC3, Rome 2) Maybe those games aren't well optimized?
BTW another quick question. How will you know if a mobo can overclock? I looked at the details of my board and there was no mention of overclocking capabilities...
