Upgradeitus time again

[Shelster]

Is it worth going from the card I have in my sig to one of these.

Would be looking to sell on the old card, so wont be too big a hit in the pocket

 

[Something Else]

yes

bench tests

its worth noting that the bench 6950 would more than likely be stock.

Ordered......will be with me Monday.....do they still come with the Haribo's?

 

[OptimaLnrg]

most orders come with haribo. Some of mine didn't, but my new mobo/ram/block came with 7 packets so I don't mind .

 

[old gamer]

I was also going to say yes, i found a single 7970 coped better than 6950 xfire with eyefinity, proberly due to the 3gb ram

 

[Shelster]

Am looking forward to it.....didnt get any Haribo in with my SSD and drive bay adaptor.........

 

[Something Else]

judging by the bench test you will see almost double fps in many games

 

[Shelster]

YEAH........DPD man just delivered my shiny new 7970.......looking forward to getting home and seeing what it can do........think he must have been a hungry delivery man as there didnt appear to be any Haribo's in withe my delivery

 

[Shelster]

well so far quite happy

Benchmark tests in 3d Mark 06 in before>after are

24012>25544 (Overall)

and for 3d Mark 11

P5549>P8057

Realise these are very synthetic and now going to run some BF3 to see what I get in that.....

Did briefly flash up SWTOR and was still getting approx same frames as before the upgrade (circa 40-60). Not sure if this is to do with the way the game is coded....

.......mmmmm.....BF3 at 5760x1080 in ultra......guess I will be smashing my Photobucket limit on those then

 

[tamzzy]

im surprised you didnt go for the gtx670 instead (if bf3 is your main game)
bf3 performs better on nvidia cards

I spent £250 last week on a 7870 and a couple of case fans.....no haribo

Only running BF3 for now. FSX, eve and swtor are my main games.....plus some mindless destruction now and again

BF3 looks great on three screens, I'm jealous indeed I'm definitely upgrading my graphics card sometime within a month or two.
