Hi guys,

The title sums it up: will my Radeon HD 7770 1GHz edition be enough to run Battlefield 4? I don't play BF3 on ultra, either. The beta was playable, but if I understood correctly, beta was running to 30ish FPS no matter what your specs are.

What would be a significant-enough upgrade? I'd prefer to upg. to Nvidia, due to being a linux guy here.

Well, a Â*7950 3gb would be probably the best upgrade
they cost only around 180 euros, oc'd are pretty close to a 7970 and they will run BF4 on high easily.
the problem with that 7770 is the 1gb memory. You really want 2, if not 3gb these days.

That the beta ran at 30fps no matter wat is bullshit. I ran the beta on ultra @60 and medium @90 fps.
If you ran beta decently you could play the game with that card yea. But still getting a 3gb card is worth your while especially for the future.

Wouldn't go nvidia, AMD currently has better value for money options in EVERY segment.
If you go Nvidia you essentially pay alot more for the same performance.

Alternate has 7970 from 250 euros
and you get 3 free games with them.

I got one myself a couple of weeks ago, ran BF4 beta at 1080 60fps ultra.

290X is quite alot faster though.
Ask Caveman he just got his.

They don't have my MSI TwinFrozr anymore. already sold out.
They are clearing stocks on the 7970's and all 7000 series cards so.

I'd recommend the XFX Black Edition out of those 4.
But if you want a different one. Other shops have more options, but they don't have the NeverSettle Bundle.
Alternate is the only official AMD retailer.

Just wait till bf4 comes out and see if you like the performance you get. I think you can play it without any problems (although perhaps not on the highest settings)

You can pick 3 games from the gold tier:

I got DiRT3 , Sleeping Dogs and Hitman Absolution.

I can say Sleeping Dogs is really awesome, wished I played that sooner.
Haven't played Dirt or Hitman yet.
Already had Farcry 3, but if you don't. I can highly recommend that.

btw what about those 280X versions ?
wich one should i take XFX Black7970 or the R9280X ??

just saw some benchmarks, i see there the same o.O but the 7970 does score better o.O

Just ordered the XFX Black 7970 ^^ 3-5 days to wait :(

I would go for the 280x cause it's the latest revision of the chip. And pricewise not much difference.
Burning

They are practically the same and will both do equally good.

280X is the new rebranded version, it's as fast as a OC 7970. But it doesn't come with the NeverSettleBundle.
