getting 40fps worth upgrading gpu?

[pcpartys]

erm i really dont know diff between 35 and 60fps...i would need to really try out...I guess 60 will be a lot smoother.

But 35-40 is stil very playable...many console games are 30fps right?

I was getting 15-25 that was unplayable.

MOney is no problem though so if you had unlimeted money why play at 35 when u can play at 60 right?

and may as well buy 7950 as it will last longer

Ideally for online mp fps titles you want as high a fps as you can get.

Smoothness is another you want as high as you can get, but is personal preference with highest/smothest or a combination of both.

If money is no problem then either 690 SLI/7970680 QuadSLI/Crossfire in surround/eyefinity is where it's at.

Realistically 7950 is best bang for buck if you get the right one:

HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H795QC3G2M) with FREE Sleeping Dogs, Nexuiz, Dirt Showdown & CODMW2 PC Games @ £249.95 inc VAT

Considering the games value, this makes these 7950's well under £200!!

That's an awful lot of games to keep/sell that makes it one of the best deals around right now.

his is good make as good as msi?

Not had any faults using either, if bought from here, OcUK deals with warranty claims with both of them.

A new gf card wont make the images look any prettier right? It just means I can get more fps? It wont make it look nicer at same settings?

The extra stuff you turn on in the control panel can transform a fairly average game in to something special.

For example the other day I played a fairly plain looking game "dead island" and after turning on all the extra features in my nvidia control panel it was one of the best looking games I had ever seen.
On my old 6790 the game looks something like a xbox 360 game but on the 66oti it looks generations ahead.

Also when your hitting a steady 60fps the textures look much more detailed.

I never edit options in the control panel.

Only in game...what do you suggest I do to improve games if I buy a 7950 and am getting 60fps I will be able to bump on settings in the conrtol panel i guiess

I'm quite new to pc gaming but basically if its a game I can easily max out which for me is streetfighter and dead island I will put everything to the highest quality settings.

With games like battlefield where it is maxing your card out you can't turn a lot of extra stuff on without having an impact on performance.

Here is a screen shot of my control panel settings the one on the left is the sort of setting I use on a less demanding game and the one on the right is what I use for battlefield online.

The main ones that effect the picture are your AA settings and your qulity settings

I see and as far as i am aware you can save profiles to .exe of games so when you load up a game the ATi contorl panel will cahnge settings for that game..so it seems?

Yes setting up the profile for each game is really easy and very rewarding.
