I've wanted to play the next gen games on my PC, but I'm not 100% sure if my ghahics card can run it. My system is:
i5 3470
Radeon 7770 1Ghz edition
Corsair 500W
Gigabyte B75M-D3H ATX

I run at 1920x1080 and curious if I could run it, what settings will I be able to run the games at?

When Battlefield 4 came out, I was struggling to run it medium getting around 30 frames and sometimes below.
 


Really? According to this chart in the beta a 7770 was getting 30fps min in multiplayer on high settings. I assume they optimized it quite a bit since then.

My old PC has a phenom 1050t with a hd7770, it can play medium @1080p with no problem... Doesn't look to bad compared to ultra settings I'm playing on :D

Edit: right now you can play BF4 for free for 168h (1w) on origin, you could give it another try
 
Most of the newer games released in the past 2 years don't really have a giant hit to quality when you're lowering the textures and what not. CoD's like that too from what I remember. Biggest difference is probably low -> medium quality. Then everything past medium is mostly extra lights and what not. (at least that's what I notice).
