Is the Radeon 7790 a good card,I want to play games at 1280 x 1024 maxed

[MrAcd]

Titles says it all, I would like to max out games at 1280 x 1024, and sometimes 720p( for my tv) I have a APU 7660D OCed but it isn't cutting it for maxing, I play BF3, COD's, Tomb Raider. So is this card the card for me, and it will not bottleneck my A10 I have it OCed at 4.3ghz can go higher if needed?

for 100 dollars it is a very good card. Also if you are willing to pay 40 dollars more there are much better cards (gtx 650 ti boost and hd 7850).

 

[MrAcd]

I barley came up with the 109 but do you think that is a stealer price for that card, I want it bad but not sure if I should keep saving, I lose gun fights because of my low FPS In BF3

 

[MrAcd]

Like yea should I save up for the boost or 7850 it will be a LONG time from now

In a long time those two more powerful cards will be obviusly getting higher fps.
If i where you i would save up the money for those two cards.
Also to help you decide between those two(hd 7850, gtx 650 ti boost)
If you want a single card go with the hd 7850 and oc it.
If you are going to get multiple cards get the gtx 650 ti boost.

1280x1024 isn't all that high. The 7790 should run decently at that resolution.

But he wants to keep the gpu for a rather long time. If so you better save some money

 

[mohit9206]

7790 will max out all and every game at 720p. If it doesn't you can have your money back from the retailer(just kidding). It will max out every games. EVERY.

 

[MrAcd]

So yall are saying save up and thanks David, if I do save up ill go with the 7850, 1. because I will only run single 2. I LOVE to OC! ,does one preform better than the other. From the looks I think they had the same performance? I would like it last a while yes, but are you saying 7790 wont last very long, if so how long will I be able to play 30 FPS on game, and are you sure that offer isn't to good to give up, wow that was a lot of questions

Recap:
1.Would saving up be better in my position, being I can play games just not at what I would like??

2.Is there a performance difference between GTX 650 Ti Boost V.S. Radeon 7850

3. If I did get the 7790 how long could I play at my 1080p res at 30 FPS on games??

4. Is that offer to good to give up thought, its regular 150$ right now only 109$?

 

[MrAcd]

Btw with the 7790 I can get Far cry 3 Dragon, Bioshock, and 3DMark

 

[david cassar]

1.Bf3 and tomb raider are very graphically demanding titles so for 1080p the 650 ti boost and hd 7850 are going to be better.( a side note those two games get more fps on nvidia
2. There is no performance difference between them they are the same but the hd 7850 is a very good overclocker(can overclock to hd 7870 performance)
3. At 1080p ultra it would be limited to a year or so. If you would like to play the upcoming games on (1080p) the hd 7850, gtx 650 ti boost are going to last much more.
4. The hd 7790 retail price is 149 so at 109 dollars it is good. But as i said if you can afford the hd 7850 or gtx 650 ti boost I would strongly advise to go with them.
(another side note. The hd 7850 comes with three free games.)

 

[david cassar]

The hd 7850 comes with far cry dragon, tomb raider and bioshock.

How did we go from 1280x1024 to 1920x1080?

THIS ^

If you are doing anything below 1920x1080 the 7790 is perfect. Anything above that resolution and I would step up to at least a 7850.

ok well I think I am pretty convinced David, I have a 7660D I can play at my 1080p res 27-30 fps at medium with a OC on it, I guess I can save up more money for 7850, sound like a plan?

and you were saying nivdia gets more FPS on the games I like, but you also said I could OC the 7850 to the performance of a 7870 so would that be the better buy?

Its funny because 2 months ago I told my self I was just gonna save up for a 6670, then I said well a 7750 is only a few more, then the same happen and I was gonna get a GTX650 , the same thing happened, and I was gonna get a 7770 then a gtx 650 ti then a 7790 , and now a 7850.

 

[MrAcd]

I believe I have made my choice to save and just wait it out and get a 7850 even though it will be FOREVER, probably 2-4 months from now I think it will last me longer and since I could OC it to 7870 that makes me even more attractive to it.

Yes the hd 7850 can overclock to the hd 7870 in levels of performance.
I know what you are talking about. I was going to get a gtx 650 ti but then i found an hd 7850 2g for the a bit and the got a gtx 660 as it was similar in price.

 

[MrAcd]

But thanks David, +1 for you I just hope a 7850 goes on sale soon
