HD7850 and Farcry 4?

[Drekerc]

I run a Saphire HD7850 2GB. No I bought Farcry 4, I thought I would be possbile to play it at Very High settings with a good fps but I can only get about 60 fps on medium! When I try high or Very high I get about 35fps which causes stuttering. I run an I7 2600k and a P8P67 Deluxe motherboard. What can cause this?

I see guys running on Ultra with this GPU

Thanks

You have an HD 7850. That's about equivalent to an R9 270. That's a low end card. You can't play on very high settings on a low end card. Couple that with the fact that GTX 980s struggle to run Farcry 4 at max and you know that it won't be possible, 60fps on medium is what you should expect out of a 7850

turn anti aliasing /post processing off and god rays etc ..

I heard that those cards where mid range? I read allot on this forums to, and heared it was a great card. And why do I see people running it at ultra then, with this card, with good fps?

That game is strongly biased towards Nvidia hardware and had plenty of AMD problems on release, it still runs better on the Green Teams cards than the Red, even under the 1.9 patch.
I'll give good odds that the guys running that game on ultra are at a fairly low rez, the HD7850 is a decent card but it's not going to run FC4 at 1080 rez on ultra settings vey well for the reasons above.
Of all the settings God Rays, AA and vegetation detail (Alpha to coverage I think it's called) have the largest impact on performance and turning the shadow detail down a bit helps greatly in forested areas.
Although my rig generally runs the game at or over 60 FPS in most places even its R9 290/i5 4690K combo has problems at the ultra preset in some of the Shangi-la sections.

HD 7850 isn't mid range. HD 7950 is mid range but the 7850 is pretty low end. People running ultra with 7850 are NOT running it at 1080p believe me. Probably 720p. I have seen people with GTX 970s and 980s not getting 60fps at 1080p ultra

7950 @ 1300/1900 memory running far cry 4 @ ultra 60FPS no dips with Nvidia sittings off and 0 AA

i would say that is far from mid range

7870 is top tire mid range 7850 is mid tire mid range

7950 is low tire high range above it is the 7970 than the R9 290/X

the 7850 isnt that strong and its old you wont get the best FPS for now try turning OFF AA, plus people on youtube are idiots, even with my 7950 3gb i cant run the game ultra 1080p with over 60 fps

 

[azzazel_99]

Lol if you watched YouTube and saw people saying they were getting 60fps with will ultra at 1080p I can only say don't believe about 99% of what you see in YouTube lol. Get a better gpu that card is oooooooooold.

Thats normal, see the benchmarks above, ur 7850 is similar to 750ti. 7850 was a mid range card when it was released but now it is entry level card for gaming. Turn off AA as mentioned above.
If u want 60fps on high-ultra settings then get a GTX 970.

If 7850 is mid range, the GTX 960 is ultra high end.

As others in this thread have said, the 7850 is an old card. It was mid range when it came out (3 years ago), but it's now low end. I also have an extremely hard time believing an HD 7950 can max Far Cry 4. People with GTX 980s still ahve trouble maxing Far Cry 4

I'd like to know what sort of cooling Holyrage is using to get 1300/1700 clocks on a HD7950.

really? because a mid range card does not get 70 fps on bf4 ultra 1080P

A mid range card can certainly get 70fps on BF4 ultra. HD 7950/R9 280 is midrange. If it was high end, there wouldn't be such thing as R9 290

[jerdle]

I think this guy is confusing "flagship" with "high end"

There is more than one high end card per generation from each team. The R9 280x and GTX 970 are both high end cards too.

I personally think the 280x and 770 (Last gen of GPUs) were upper midrange cards, with the 780 and 290 being the high end, and the 780ti/290x being the flagship cards

 

[bishopi5]

7950 is high end... they only made one card above it and it was ridiculously close to the same performance (7970)....

Comparing 7950 the cards we currently have is just stupid and of course would make it mid range.

 

[holyrage]

I'd like to know what sort of cooling Holyrage is using to get 1300/1700 clocks on a HD7950.

Vapor-X @ 1.22V 1300/1900MHZ Case is thermaltake MK-1 with 1 side fan blowing cold air directly at the VRM area

plus a Ghetto Mounted Noctua Fan just a bit above the HDD cage ( so that i can lower the Fan speeds to something less annoying)

i have it so that my card dosent go above 85C everything in the case runs fairly quite and i use a headset so noise isn't a big issue

also all the fan slots are filled (top exhaust fans above the H100I are turned off unless im playing )

when idel i have the 2 intake fans running plus 1 back exhaust ( h100I running 750~RPM)


it is the best card i ever got IMO 3.5+ years and still playing many games on ultra with the AA turned down (or the sittings that eat the GPU turned to High) i plan on upgrading to the R9 380X or R9 390X

i care more about performance per $ than Performance per watt so AMD is my choice of GPUS

 

[FunSurfer]

I can confirm what the guys above me said from personal experience, I too have i7 2600 and P8P67 Deluxe motherboard, and got bad fps and stuttering with GTX 760 @ 900p on high+ settings, those were gone when I upgraded to GTX 970 (except the known minor stuttering of FC4). So FC4 is very graphically demanding.

So by that logic, a GTX 280 is high end. Technology evolves mate. What used to be high end isn't going to be high end forever
