7950 lower fps that 7770?

[Jasonskyring]

That's right I just picked up a 7950 3gb thinking it would see me run bf4 on ultra but no the fps on just high seem worse than the 7770? On shanghai the fps were around 20 when it got busy, with the 7770 it never really dropped below 30.

Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

Fx 6300
R7950
8gb ddr3

But with mantle enabled i usually get around 90-130 fps on ultra at 1080p maxed out so you should get about half of that.

I do now yes about 40-80fps, coz i always play online its difficult to see but it rarely drops below 45 with mantle.

the gpu load is like 98-99% with mantle so its promising for future games

I think if I upgraded to win 8.1 Id see a few more fps under direct x

You can see the fps by hitting the little ~ button on the top left of your keyboard then type prefoverlay.drawfps 1 and press enter there is a space between the s and 1. Its the native fps counter.

I have the fps displayed, but difficult to read an average, min fps in direct x is 30-35 id say now, mantle 40-45 so I think shes performing as expected now, If we compare that to yours considering you're running in crossfire and have a FX8350? Thats at 1080p Ultra 4XAA in Win 7. Think I might invest in a copy of Win 8.1 at some point tho just to see if I get a few more fps.

I have a slight O/C on the gpu (975clock/1275mem clock, fans set to 80% to keep cool) but if I give it to much I get a slight coil whine.

I also have a good O/C on the cpu (FX6300) now to 4.5ghz, cool and stable as I bought a new case with 5 fans and better cable management so I've pushed it a tad more.

Anyway thanks for all the advise from you all, its defo helped.

I still get a tad bit of screen tear tho, I dont like the lag you get with vsync enabled so I capped the fps to 60 by making a user.cfg which hasnt really made any difference but of well, it still looks great.

Yep win 8.1 will give you a tiny bounce but unparking the cores in 7 gives it a nice bump.

If you want to unpark them http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2065810/amd-8350-quad-cores-unparking-cores-win.html

I have unparked cores 24/7 mate, one of the 1st things a did when I was setting my O/C

I dont get the screen tearing but i use rivatuner to cap my fps at 60 dont know if it will make a difference. Also for online in options check your online smoothing and if it doesnt cause to many issues start lowering it. Will give better you lower latency if you are having animation problems turn it up and it will smooth it out.
