[Jeroen1322]

Hi guys!

 

I'm going to buy the SAPPHURE DUAL-xR9 270X 2GB OC with Boost and before i am going to spend my money i want to know 

for sure how this card will perform.

Can it run Battlefield 3 / 4 on High or Ultra?

 

Thanks!

I'd still get a 7950 or a 7970 if it fits in your buget

Yes, on 1920x1080 at high/ultra, with AA turned off. The 270x is a HD 7870 in disguise. It's basically the same card. Research how the Sapphire Dual 7870 performs in BF3 and you'll get your answer.

I just have a MSI twin Frozr model 6870 and I can play bf3 on 1920x1080 ultra with 8xaa and get around 30ish fps. I would think the 7870 would be a bit better in terms of performance. I think youll be more than fine with the 270x

Hahaha i'm very bad a titles for post

The AMD Radeon R9 270X should be able to handle BF4 on high, maybe ultra settings with AA turned down and at a 1080p resolution or less.

Figured so. That's why I wrote it

Yeah, 30FPS on multiplayer isn't really good. Turn the AA off for very smooth gameplay.

I was about to add he could add FXAA through the Nvidia control panel... Boy did I feel stupid.

bf4 at ultra or high isnt usually considered casual, although the 270x should be able to push 30 frames +

Try stretching your budget for the 7950. It's faster and comes with free games with their Never Settle bundle. It may be a little more expensive, but it's worth the extra GB of VRAM and free games (y). The R9-270X is a good card, but is actually using the same chip as the 7870.

No, don't get the 7950 for that money, the 280x is the same price as a 7950 and it's basically a 7970 undercover
