7850 2 gig question

[CosmicClown]

Hi, I'm wondering whether the experts here can help me out as I'm getting mixed messages everywhere else. Can this graphics card run games at 2560x1440 well? I'm talking about BF3 and future games etc.

Thanks.

Definately not (regarding to "well").
BF3 runs better on GF, and 7850 is not 7950 which does job better. Oh, and resolution. Too much expectations and budget too low, I think for that task.

That comparison is at different clocks. You've got to remember you can clock the nuts off the 7850. But obviously at that resolution you really are better off spending as much as you can on the graphics card.

I run BF3 maxed out at 1680x1050. Not sure about higher resolutions. I have the 7850 2gb. The 12.11 drivers give a massive boost to the fps for the 7xxx cards in BF3.
