HD 7950 vs. GTX 570 - Worth an upgrade? Benchmarks inside

[Mr Expert]

7850 i doubt can even touch a gtx660 ti in any game,even a overclocked 7850 isn't touching one....think a highly overclocked 7870 can and most def a 7950 but not a 7850.

Heck i had a 7850,went to 1050/1400 max oc and barely touched a 7870....

Mr Expert, no it was Nvidia that had massive issues that had to be addressed a a few days later.

and I get 76 fps on the settings that you get 58 fps. thats a whopping 30% faster than your 7850. in fact my minimum was 62 fps. are we done yet?

 

[Face2Face]

lol nice try. Nvidia did horrible when that game was released mainly with tressfx and that was well known. thay had some massive increases from newer drivers. QUOTE]
So did AMD. I get 58fps min with HD 7850 in Tomb Raider 2013 on Ultra 1080 sans TressFX

EDIT: - opps, didn't see your last post - Were good

Can you run the bench with the settings I have outlined above. Also make sure it's set at 1080P - I'm interested - 58 FPS sounds awful high..

EDIT: - opps, didn't see your settings

that was him getting 58 without tressfx and me getting 76.


I ran your exact settings and posted about that earlier.

for comparison my gtx660ti at basically stock got 44.7 fps in Tomb Raider.

oced by 85mhz for a max boost of 1163 and memory at 7000mhz gave me 50.6.

I get 154 min with Ultra 196.9 avg, what do I win?

you are not running the same settings as the op so all you get is a kick in the nuts.

There you are, I was starting to get worried.. :biggrin: Need an icepack...?

Results look good Face, I would have thought the 570 would have been able to beat the stock 7950, but it seems it can't at least not in these titles.

My take away is what I felt with my 470s, last gen highly clocked at 1080p, playable fps delivered. I imagine outside of the bench bat though you'd run into some problems with the frame buffer on the 570, especially in titles like Bioshock.

That said as toyota pointed out the efficiency of a new node is hard to ignore.

Is that with TressFX on ?

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Yes, the other was with it off.

Thanks man. I wasn't able to get any higher than 950 core on this particular card. It's an MSI TF3 GTX 570 OC/PE. Funny you should say, Bioshock was eating all of GTX 570's memory. I suspect in future titles the lack or memory will hinder it's performance. Still put up some respectable numbers especially in Crysis 3. Wish I had a Killawatt to see what kind numbers it was pulling from the wall..

 

[BallaTheFeared]

At those clocks, a lot I would imagine.

I still think my 470s and my 5.3GHz i5-2500k are the reason my SSD died twice and my HDD once.

If only I had a kill-a-watt then 960/2250 470s even at 37C can't be sipping power.

Wow.. you would probably need to pull a separate 15amp circuit for that beastly setup. 1200watt PSU?

Mind if i post my results

2x 7870s

Nice :thumbsup:
Can you post a single 7870 as well? OC and stock at the same settings? Would be nice to see how the GTX 570 stacks up against the 7870. I know there are variables, but still...

For some odd reason whenever i disable CrossFire PC BSOD's so i might have to take one out to do a single card run

Single HD 7870

This looks to be on par with the overclocked GTX 570 if I am looking at it correctly. Of course we have different rigs, but interesting none the least.

Good run, this is putting the 7870 OC'd 10 FPS beyond the OC'd GTX 570

Yep

That's actually with HD 7870 CrossFire

 

[Gikaseixas]

500 series owes nothing to the new generation. If it was 28nm it could compete without problems

 

[Mr Expert]

LOL are you claming that a single GTX 570 is almost as fast as CF HD 7870 ?

 

[BallaTheFeared]

lol

Just ran the Tomb Raider benchmark using the same settings as the OP, and I got 102 Min, 180 Max and 132 Avg.

This was at 1280mhz on the core and 7.7ghz on the memory..

Very nice! :thumbsup: Looks to be a little quicker than Balla's 7950's.
