can i run current gen games with this system

[ItsRetorical]

AMD Athlon X4 740 Trinity 3.2GHz 

stock cooling 

8gbs of decent ram

XFX HD7770 Ultra OC Edition

evga 600b power supply

I would add in the other crap but its unneeded but im just wondering if i can handle games like bf4 and crysis on low setting with this build.

 

[H4X3R]

Yes you can.

[Kyuubixchidori]

Coming from just having a HD7770, you will be fine for low settings

probably even on medium/high 1080p

These guys here are speaking with 60 fpsing on high end games 1080p in mind.

ok thanks I was just wondering  that saves me a lot of money.

he mentioned low settings in the OP  

 

personally I ran mine at at 1600x900 and got 35-40 fps medium settings in far cry 3. 

[Deaddz]

Low and medium. High would dip down to like 10 FPS often.

Watch Linus' video on low-end graphics cards versus mid-range graphics cards.

The 7770 is nothing to laugh at really. It is a solid card. That's actually the card I am getting for my machine.
If I had a bit more money and a bit more time to build myself a machine before I go abroad, I would go and buy a used r9 280 or a 270X on eBay because I found some really good deals on those. Despite that, you will not be disappointed at all with the 7770.

 

I would also recommend that you get a less powerful PSU unless you are seriously considering major, MAJOR upgrades in the future.You can power that build with a 400W PSU.

The HD 7770 is far from low end. It is basically R7 260X, a card that performs very well in modern games and competes and most often beats its competitor, the 750, in benchmarks.

[Kamina]

That's like xbone hardware right there.

OP's set up. 

 

He should be fine running modern games, that is.

Sure, but don't lump his machine in with the XBone. The XBone doesn't use fast VRAM and has a really bottlenecked system in general. I would take a 7770 any day (because it can support 1080p for one...)

I thought it was like the r7 250x. I also want to get the hd 7770 for my system but i will be playing at 720p so i should get slightly better results.

It is, the 260X outperforms the 7770 but not by the biggest margin. Price-to-performance they are about the same.

280x=7970

280=7950

270x=7870

270=7850

260x=7770

Id recommend buying a more powerful card used. check the classifieds, i believe there is another, i got a HD 7950 for 140$

 

i bought my hd 7770 like 3 months ago for 145$ I was able to sell it to a friend for 140$. got a 2.5x performance upgrade for free essentially. skip that though and just get the more powerful card

[MEC-777]

280x=7970

280=7950

270x=7870

270=7850

260x=7770

Close... It's more like this:

 

280x = 7970/ghz edition +/-

280 = 7950

270x = 7870ghz edition

270 = 7870 (This is closest to the PS4's GPU)

265 = 7850 +/-

260x = 7790 (This is closest to the Xbox One's GPU)

260 = 7770

250x = 7750

250 = between 7730 and 7750

240 = 7730 +/-

 

The R7/R9 cards are re-branded HD 7000 series cards but they have also been tweaked a little. Thus, they don't necessarily match up exactly but this is approximately where they line up with the previous gen.

Yes, the HD 7770 was rebranded into the R7 250X. The HD 7770 and R7 250X both have 640 GCN cores. The R7 260X was rebranded from the HD 7790 and both have 896 GCN cores.

HD 7770 and R7 250X = Cape Verde chip (640 cores)

HD 7790 and R7 260X = Oland chip (896 cores)

The HD 7790 and R7 260X is basically the same graphics processor on the Xbox One. I can understand why the Xbox One feels underpowered since the PS4 basically has what is essentially an R9 270 or 270X, depending on the PS4's GPU clockspeed (which I don't know). Big gap between the R7 260X and R9 270. Even the R7 265 is significantly faster due to its 256-bit bus.

As for your HD 7770, it should run most games at playable settings on medium or even high settings at 1080p or lower. The newest titles should be playable on low to medium. By playable, I mean around or above 30 FPS. It's just that for many people here, anything under ultra settings and 60 FPS is a sin.  :lol: I suggest you try and get an R7 265 instead though. You can very easily OC it to be as fast as an R9 270.

Almost. They are built on a different architecture which makes them more... powerful, I guess. They just have more features and stuff. It's also why you can't crossfire 7970s and r9-290s. The R series is an update. I kind of wish AMD would stop coming out with updates and give us some PROPER NEW STUFF.

 

[Opcode]

That machine should still perform decently, of course you're not going to be able to run at higher end settings. Tho I am sure even you already know that.

[GloriousPain]

>.> THE R9 290 Series is based upon a whole new architecture....  the rebranding is only true for 280x and below (with the 265 being exempt as it is also new) you can crossfire 280x with 7970 because those are the same architecture.

Long story short: Your basically right just there's exceptions and your example is wrong because you listed an exception as an example. The majority of the R series is an update in case of 265, 290, 290x, and 295X2 it's new...

Correct. And in my previous post I was more trying to show how they match up performance-wise.
