What FPS Should I be seeing?!?

Valhalla

Hello,

I have a 7950 and a 7870 Tahiti XT both XFX running in crossfire. I'm on Windows 8.1 and have the 14.4 drivers installed.

My PC:
FX 8320 4.5GHZ 1.4250V

Be Quiet Shadow Rock 2 

Asrock 970 Extreme 3 R2.0

6GB DDR3 1333MHZ Ram

650W XFX PRO PSU

1.5TB HDD

 

I had to OC my CPU because before I had 60FPS in BF3.

What FPS should I see in battlefield 3? Should I upgrade anything? Is my OC too little to support the two cards? Any tips on better performance? 
PS: I saw YouTube videos of 2 7870s in CF and they had better performance than me. Right now I have 80-150fps and its really ODD. Any tips on fixing that?

Thanks

Go look at some benchmarks. +- some FPS because of your CPU.

Is my OC not good enough?

I don't have any tips, but it seems to me that it is a little strange that you had to OC before you could get 60fps on BF3..

Yea, That's why I'm asking...

Ignore the above comment. CPU is perfectly fine... running faster than a stock 8350 (and they are the exact same things).

Just be aware that 7950 and a 7870 due to being in crossfire, they will have the effective speed of the 7870.

I am aware, I'm just seeing worse performance than even a regular non tahiti 7870. Why is this and how can I fix it?!?!

It depends. If in the benchmarks they're testing with a 4960X or something, obviously your CPU isn't going to keep up even if you overclock it.

No a 2600k at 4.8......

Wait what since when could you crossfire different cards? Was crossfire/SLI just for the same cores or the exact same amount of cores (same card)?

i5 4670k, GTX 970, 12GB 1600, 120GB SSD, 240GB SDD, 1TB HDD, CM Storm Quickfire TK, G502, VG248QE, ATH M40x, Fractal R4

i5 4278U, Intel Iris Graphics, 8GB 1600, 128GB SSD, 2560x1600 IPS display, Mid-2014 Model

All the parts are here, just need to get customized cords to connect the motherboard to the front panel.

Crossfire isn't like SLI. You can crossfire different cards.

How?!?!

A stock 2600K beats a stock 8320 in... well... pretty much anything. So if it's overclocked even higher then an 8320 then obviously the performance gap will grow even larger.

Do they have to be the same core?

Wow this has been a really comfy rock I've been living under....

Yes. They don't have to be the same card but the same core is required. For example a 7850 and a 7870 can be crossfired, but not a 7850 and a 7950.

The problem with benchmarks is that it's usually done with a high performance CPU. So it gives an estimate of what you could get in FPS not what you should be getting.

There is no way a 2600k beats an fx 8320 in EVERYTHING! A FX 8320 is better in all except equal in games......

This one was done by a random, using a 2600k...

As rough of an estimate as it may be, the 2600k is quite a lot more powerful then the 8-core FX processors. More cores doesn't mean everything.

I don't know about benchmarking games, and I probably can find an i7 2600k vs FX 8320 games benchmark but I can't be fucking bothered to prove to another person that an 83xx AMD CPU isn't as good as an i7 Sandy Bridge or newer.

Wait I think me showing these benchmarks shows that I can be bothered...

You're trying to Crossfire the 7950 with the 7870? That's impossible :) Use the 7950 to get your nice framerates

It's possible with AMD. The 7850 cat uses the same core as the 7950 so they can CF
