I'm stuck running 1440p with a HD7870 @ 1200/1450.
Its as fast as a stock 7970 (non ghz)
Its horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
So stuttering. Much VRAM usage.
I can't even mine Dogecoins without it crying.
I'm ordering an AIB R9 290 because I want the power and the 4GB Buffer. The consoles have a truckload of usable VRAM, and we're gonna need it too.
I have the 7870XT @ 1200 / 1575, runs very well, But, tried turning the Resolution Scale Percentage up in BF4, my VRAM filled to 1950MB and it borked.
I can see whats going to happen once Mantle gets here, i may well have the power to run BF4 absolutely maxed, but my 2GB of VRAM says NO!
