Am planing to upgrade to the HD XFX 7870, but looking online i see reviews of people getting 55-60 fps on High settings in BattleField 3 is this true?

With my 7770 ruining on 13.2 beta drivers am getting 40-50 fps on ultra and 60+ on high, depends on the map but never goes below 40 fps on high settings.

Am expecting 60+ on ultra from 7870 2GB
 
Solution
Getting back to your original question, you have to compare the 7770 and the 7850 at the same resolutions. I would guess the lower FPS on the 7850 are due to the reviewers (on the reviews you read) testing BF3 at 1080 P. You have your resolution at 900. So this is why you see the FPS you are seeing. A 7850 will out perform a 7770 at 1080P in BF3 any day. You have to make sure you are comparing different cards at the same resolutions to get accurate results.
