7870 or 760

[ryujians]

Should I get a 760 or 7870 and a coolmaster quickfire tx blue, and would I be able to run games like crysis 3 on high or ultra with these cards over 30fps at all times.

Good luck managing that with either card mate. You'll need something abit more high end or you'll need to bump down some settings.

What he said.

 

But get 760, Its newer will get more drivers so it will always get better and its cheap so you can get a second later.

overclock 7950 if you can get it for decent price

The only Real gpu killer about crysis 3 is FXAA, but if you are in that Price range the 7950 is not that more exspensive Then 7870

I will not be using fxaa and the 7950 I would get is too much

Get a 7950 instead.

The 7950 outperforms the 760 quite a bit: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

I think I may go with that card

Go for 760, it is faster and cheaper than 7950.

This is only at stock. I've explained to you before that the 7950 is a better overclocker and has more vram. 

[ryujians]

Ive decided to go with the 7950 but is this one good and will I be able to obtain a overclock on it at 100% fan http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CDAQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2FProduct%2FProduct.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16814127737&ei=ACfzUaLbHovQ9gStxYDoBw&usg=AFQjCNHhRJB274rapHGf0oG5V3-Ozg8rjA

7950 will be a good choice, for crysis however you may need to turn down FXAA

[SkilledRebuilds]

And you wont need 100% fan at all. The default Fan profile ramps up slowly, I doubt you'll even hit 100% on the fan using default, using MSI afterburner or another OC application, can set a custom fan speed curve.

Mine tops out at 60% maximum, usually sitting around 55% or less fan speed, thats cooling my 7950 @ 1125/1650 @ 64*c (They can handle 90*c or less, but cooler is more better right)

 

+1 for the 7950, There are plenty of specials going around week to week, one day you might find a 7950 for $300 (normal), but at times its on sale for $260 ish as well..

Last one I saw was a Dual fanned factory overclocked 7950 for $279, which you can OC yourself to near or past a 7970 performance level.

 

FXAA is the LEAST taxing Antialiasing in Any game,FXAA costs you 1-5fps, not 15-60% of your framerate like using MSAA or SSAA

Crysis 3 using FXAA is faster than using the other forms of AA, not using FXAA will not benefit your FPS that much, as stated, 1-5fps gain.

For Crysis 3 Find which specific setting kills the fps the most,.. shadows/post processing and such, tone one setting down and you can probably sustain very good fps, if its lagging at all.
