XFX DD R9 290 Crossfire vs XFX DD 7950 Crossfire

[Valhalla]

Title says it all, I play bf4 on a single 1080p monitor may get a 4k one. Also please tell me how much faster the 290s will be with the 7950s OCed, with settings please, and 7950 OC and 290OC.

7950=$150 each

290=$350 each.

 

[dragoon20005]

the 290 will blow the 7950 away like a jet engine

 

the 7950 is the R9 280 renamed

 

 

 

and 290s CrossFire will be suited for 4K

 

the 7950 will not be enough for 4K gaming

 

 

and for the love of god

 

stay away from XFX GPUs

 

 

pick other brands except Asus

Why not XFX and asus? Also the 7950s are much cheaper is the difference big?

[Valhalla]

Well lets say not XFX then, just standerdize the cards, which is better and by how much, ie bf4 1080p fps bf4 4k fps.

way bigger and faster

 

Asus coolers are badly design for AMD cards and the VRAMs are not cooled

 

 

XFX have bad cooler as well and bad QC

 

plus horrible RMA and customer support

[flibberdipper]

XFX is meh. Hoping my card will be good.

if you are gaming just on 1080P the HD7950 Crossfire

 

but since you are jumping to 4K the 290 CrossFire will be suited for it

 

even with a 1080P screen for 290 CrossFire 

 

expect fps close to 200 for 1080P Ultra

 

vs 100+ for HD7950 CrossFire

Oh in the past ive had bad cards, their quality sucks, though they are cool, just I like the lifetime warranty.

so ~120 7950 and 200 290... what about 4k, also is the bf4 in game 200% res scale a good way to tell, I have one friend with 1080p 7950CF and one with 290CF 1080p can I compare and get accuret fps because 1080*2=2160 and 1920*2=3840?

Here's to hoping my DD 7950 is good (vapor chamber version, no heatpipes).

You have one?

[flibberdipper]

You have one?

Yup. Still haven't gotten to use it yet for reasons.

Ah well I have 2 atm from XFX and was thinking of getting 290s. They are great 90-120fps (usually around 110) bf4 ultra 1080p .

Okay thanks

[dragoon20005]

Okay thanks

nothing much about HD7950 Crossfire for 4K gaming

but the 290 CrossFire with 4K on most games are in here

 

 

using anandtech graphs for 280X CrossFire and 290X CrossFire

the big gap for 4K gaming

[akaimahomiru]

I have a Asus 7950 OC Blk ED and just got a Sapphire 290x 8gb card, would it be worth or even possible to crossfire them together. I know crossfirring a 280 will work but the 7950 takes precedence  of the two cards when hooked up.

[sgloux3470]

For 1080p for 7950CF is perfectly fine. For 4K you want 3-3.5 GB of VRAM for BF4 necessitating 290CF
