Benchmark Results: Battlefield 3
Our first actual game benchmark is Battlefield 3, the graphically impressive shooter from Swedish developer Digital Illusions CE. Does the Radeon HD 7800 series perform as well in a real game as it did in our synthetics?
AMD’s Radeon HD 7870 serves up impressive results that end up close to Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 580 and its own Radeon HD 7950. Unfortunately, the Radeon HD 7850 falls short of our expectations until we hit the highest resolution and detail settings.

low settings were benched at the lowest resolution
mid settings at 1920x1080
and the highest at 2560x1440 (and not 2560x1600)
i mean most of us play games in the 1920x1080(1200) range, and if we are spending 200+ on a gpu, we will have about that kind of monitor... while if you have a 2560x1440(1600) monitor, you aren't wasting your time with these cards, even if its for crossfire.
what im saying is i would rather see the 1920x1080 resolution get the highest possible settings, as thats what most of us who want to max the settings will play at.
i mean when will it be launched in market
Looking at the performance graphs, 7870 performs very close to 7950 which has 40% more SPs and a 384 bit memory interface. I think AMD reduced the performance of 79xx series on purpose so that they can release a better card just before the launch of Kepler.
It is there in the first page. "you won’t be able to buy the card until at least March 19th, AMD tells us."
what a card !!!
DAY 1 BUY !
And all of this can be had for $350. Without question the best deal in the lineup.
btw, none of the AMD partners use blower design cooler? wtf!!! Blower card is what I need! Especially my existing mid tower ATX aluminium case are old design from way back in AthlonXP.
