I'm looking to upgrade my 7850 and wondered which of these would be the best or if I should go for something else entirely? I have around £200 to play with...
 
670 or a 7950. Would lean more towards the 7950 and overclock if you're on a 1440p res or looking to upgrade to it.
 
670 all the way, the 760 pales in comparison !

or just get another 7850 and xfire it up (PSU/Board dependant)
 
Would not even entertain the idea of buying an Nvidia card unless it has over 2Gb VRAM.

Personally if you don't mind AMD then the 7950 is a much faster card when over clocked and its a bit more future proof with 3Gb of VRAM

Even at the same price? Is the 670 really any better?

I'm currently gaming at 720p but looking to upgrade to 1080 soon...

670 is slightly faster so id definitely go with that. The 2gb vram will be plenty at your res, even when you go up to 1080p.

Consoles release this Xmas and they're going to raise memory consumption above what we have now, those poor Nvidia cards with 2Gb VRAM will have to turn the settings down to compensate for lack of memory

Next generation consoles have 5.5Gb of usable memory so developers could use 4Gb for textures and graphics assets and 1.5Gb for other data.

Killzone on PS4 is using 3Gb of VRAM data and that's a rushed launch game!!!

Same thing happened when 360 and PS3 released.... The 256Mb most PC cards had all of a sudden became to little and 512Mb soon took over as the standard.

Heck there's PC games out right now that are bouncing on the 2Gb limit at 1080p so imagine how bad it'll be this time next year.
 
hi all, looking to buy Asus GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card, think it will run Battlefield4 at ultra settings?
 
People in here :rolleyes:

When ports of next generation games arrive and you have to turn down settings and run at lower resolutions just to get the games frame buffer to fit into your pidley 2Gb of VRAM I'll be quietly laughing at you from the side lines with my 3Gb of VRAM :cool:

How do you know it uses up 3gig of vram? Is there an article or something we can look at?

The developers released a video showing the game and engine off behind the scenes and they mention it on there, think it might be on YouTube??

When they started the game they were told PS4 would only have 4Gb of RAM and when they found out Sony had doubled it they took advantage and upgraded a lot of the assets.

If that happens I'll just sell it and upgrade :p
