gtx 760 msi 2gb vs 7950

FreshPineApples · Oct 10, 2014

I will be playing in 1920x1080 on one monitor. I think the 7950 sapphire will slightly out perform the the 760 with the 3gb but I heard sapphire has poor customer service.(the msi would also look better in my case not that that matters) For games like bf4 will the 3gb much of a difference? I am hoping to get 45-50 fps. If the vram usage does end up taking up a whole 2gb what will the effect on the fps be?

Yes, the HD 7950 will slightly edge out the GTX 760 in most games. Not sure about BF4. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/854?vs=855

No, VRAM has no affect on frame rate, just textures, Anti-Aliasing, depth of field, stuff like that...

The newer R9-280 is basically a rebranded HD 7950, but is slightly faster.

I don't know about the 760, but I have a 7950 and it can handle most games at 1080p at near max settings, with near constant 60FPS. I have mines over clocked to 1150MHz though. With BF4, I can have 60+FPS on most maps easily (ultra settings, FXAA). Though it can occasionally dip to 40-55FPS on some maps.

clutchc :

So this should out perform all of the 3

All of what 3?
Yes, though, it is a nice card. I've had no issues with any MSI cards. And the R9-280 edges out the GTX 760 a little bit better than the HD 7950 does.

Instead of all 3 I meant the other 2 cards

Can you estimate how many fps I will get on bf4 with this card, amd a8 6600k and 8gb of ram

FreshPineApples :

It will depend completely on your settings. The CPU portion is likely comparable to an FX-4100 as you won't be using the GPU in your APU.

So if you lookup benchmarks for the graphics card you choose at Techpowerup but you'd need to factor that you'll get CPU bottlenecking in some games.

You can try using Youtube and put in "fx-4100 hd7950 bf4" or similar but the answer is basically BF4 will be very playable. Just adjust the graphics quality while running FRAPS to get at your desired frame rate.

I recommend:
a) 60FPS VSYNC (most of the time), or
b) 40FPS+ with VSYNC OFF (if screen tearing not bad)

You may wish to force Dynamic VSync which toggles VSYNC on and off (read about NVidia's Adaptive VSync). You need RADEONPRO for that.

Update:
I'd be surprised if an HD7950 made sense price wise over the newer cards, especially newer cards with the GOLD TIER package for free games.

One free game is "Sniper Elite III" which just released a Mantle upgrade which made a big improvement for those with relatively weak CPU's (like yours).

Here's one amazing deal ($156 after MIR, and PROMO CODE through NCIX with three free games): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9280gaming3g
