70 Fps on the radeon 7970 ghz possible?

[wakojako]

Im going to order my pc any day now and i was wondering if you can get 70 fps + on a radeon 7970 ghz edition on ultra on demanding games such as bf3 and akyrim.

Assuming your at a 1080p resolution here.

Skyrim easily, its not that intensive.
BF3 nope.

well as far as battlefield 3 is considered, min 24 to 29 fps, average 47 to 49 fps and max 70 to 73 fps you would get on ultra max settings with that graphic card, for skyrim min 27 to 31 fps, average 62 to 66 fps and max 100 to 113 fps, with a bit of scaling down graphic settings i think you could achieve the desired fps, but the above mentioned fps were tested with an i7 processor so they may change.

would there be much difference with the i5 3570k

the i5 is good due to architecture superiority. the differences between an i7 and an i5 in gaming are extremely minimal, it wont matter. well battlefield 3 is more gpu intensive then cpu, while skyrim is dependent on both cpu and gpu.

ive been too so many benchmark websites and they seem to have a different opinions would you call this acurate

well the fps which i gave you are for 2560x1600 res with 4X MSAA and FXAA High, 16X AF, and the last slide which you linked, if you check has almost same fps around 42.43 with 4xAA and 61.77 with no AA enabled on 2560x1600 res, if you are running on 1920 x 1080 res i think 70 fps is pretty much achievable on 1920 x 1080 with 4X MSAA and FXAA High, 16X AF.

those are not accurate because they're on very old drivers

They are still relevant for understanding relative positioning of cards, but they are not relevant for understanding what framerate the 7970 will get in specific games.

Well i agree with bigmack, there are lot of factors which will affect the framerate but you could get a general idea where the card would stand on the price vs performance benchmark.
