Something wrong? from R9 390 to gtx 1070

DennisDK · Apr 8, 2017

Hey just updated my GPU to a MSI aero gtx1070 from a MSI r9 390 found a good deal,

I did a clean installation so there are no old drivers at all.

but its not that I can see some very big effect

so maybe I am doing something wrong or my system is bottlenecking the GPU

Specs:

ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77
16GB ram 1333mhz (4x4GB)
I7 3770K overclocked to 4,1Ghz
2Tb Normal hard drive,
MSI aero gtx 1070 8GB

In battlefield 1 I get about 78 fps at lowest and about 95 highest, running it at 1920*1080 ultra, DX11 mode,

Dont get me wrong its not bad fps, but I would have expected a lot more from upgrading,

hope to hear what others have to say

Best Regards, Dennis

that is because the r9-390 is almost identical in performance to a gtx 970

you did a sideways move, not an upgrade.

don't buy the hype, gpus are mostly "tiered" units. not placed. As in 1st and 2nd don't actually have to be far appart, and sometimes they are. Though the gtx970 is technically slightly faster then the r9-390, the differences are almost not observable, and generally depending on the game might actually favor the r9-390. same for the gtx1080ti and titan xp, basically the same tiered card, someone purchasing a card on the same tier generally can't tell the difference. Usually you have to jump 2 whole teirs to be able to tell the difference between cards.

the r9-390 and r9-390x are basically similarly performing gpus to the 970 780ti and 1060 they're all on the same tier.

He has a GTX 1070; not GTX 970.

This is how a GTX 1070 must perform like

Try DX12. Your i7 shouldn't hold back that 1070 but you can test this.

Also check temps for both the CPU & GPU, that MSI Aero probably doesn't run very cool due to the reference design.

I think you misread it

I did not buy a 970 I bought a 1070,

DennisDK :

ah. well the 1070 is a nice bump up over the r9-390. if you're not seeing much difference that either means
1) you're gaming on a 60hz monitor in 1080p (both cards should hit 60fps in 1080p on pretty much everything), meaning the performance bottleneck is your monitor
2) you're playing a cpu bound title (meaning your performance was limited by your cpu not your gpu)

That fps is pretty normal in bf1 for a 1070, I get about the same.

I use a BenQ 144hz monitor

yeah it might be the cpu that bounds the last fps,

dewjustin :

What specs are you running in your pc with the 1070 ?

J_E_D_70 · Apr 9, 2017

I get an average of about 120 with occasional bumps to 144fps but I run it at 1080p/high since framerate>eye candy in a shooter.
