Is it still worth it?

[TheRealSlimPasty]

Hey guys I am planning on getting a new GPU and I remember from watching the Battlefield 4 showcase at E3, and they were using dual 7950's in there system. I was just wondering if it is worth it to get a 7950 or get a newer GPU like the 760, 280x. I just plan on playing games at max, or close to max settings at 1080p and getting around 60 FPS. If the 7950 is still a viable option will it last around 8 months to a year at playing games at high settings.

the AMD r9 280 is just a re-badged 7950, and yes the r9 280 will do a fine job playing games on high settings

I thought it was a re-badged 7970? @TheRealSlimPasty Grab the R9 280X over the GTX760. The performance is way better.

I want the 7950 for the 3gb of vram. Would it still be a viable option was the whole point of this post

IIRC the 280x is a rebadged 7970, but the 280 is the 7950

Aaaah this make me think. I have a store here in holland that has discounted the 7950 from 300 to 160 euros .

So should i get the 280 over the 7950 ?

Yeah, go for it.

[Beefmaster]

short answer yes

 

long answer it is pretty much a cheaper rebrand of the 7970 whit alot longer support warrenty apparently from what i have heard alot more consistent overclocking performence

 

so yes and most of the cards you would find on like ebay or something geto like that would be x bitcoin mining cards and they would probley dye soon after you bought them

Since the 280 has Mantle support, go for it.The 7950 offers good performance too, I have it in my rig

280 is a higher clock 7950. Just get the cheaper one. 

 

Btw, aren't BF4 demo was ran with a 7990?
