Gtx 560ti upgrade

I went from the 384 560Ti to the 7950 IceQ and the difference was significant. I have played through Crysis 3, Tomb Raider (solid 59fps with TressFx turned off, 40fps with it on) and BF3 with mostly the highest settings enabled and they were very fluid, although I am still using a 1680*1050 display. The Bureau needs some settings reduced and still isn't that smooth but I think that is the game/drivers.

To be honest I haven't paid much attention to the actual fps figures because I went from a 3.2Ghx Q6600+560Ti to 4.5Ghz i5 4670K+560Ti and then swapping to 7950 IceQ in a relatively short period. The CPU upgrade got rid of the bottleneck but I hit the limit of the 560Ti very quickly when upping detail settings. Upgrading the GPU mostly removed that limit. There are some settings in newer games that can still bring down the frame rate but now I don't notice as much, as the difference in the very highest settings has less visual impact. The fact that the card is £60 less than I paid four weeks ago is a bonus for you and gutting for me :eek::p.
