AMD HD7XXX Series - Latest leaked details - Chiphell

I have to stop you here. Being a 120Hz user with a single 580 this is totally wrong. 2 580s at 1920x1080 can easily do 100+ min in most current games ( the setup I built for my friend is as such ). And yes 60min on a 120hz display doesn't feel so great I can tell you first hand. Once you are accustomed to 120hz gaming, 60fps on a 120hz display feels like 30fps on a 60hz display. Its kind of a double edged sword as it improves the experience but requires more to do so ( ie those 3gb sli 580 setups )

Ok, I take it from you and the others that high end cards are good for 120 hz. That just wasnt something I knew about before, sorry for being uninformed.

I also see alot of people with 1 gig's of vram having more issues with bf3 than 580\6970 users

This is purely because they are trying to use 4x MSAA, which is not advisable in BF3 on any cards other than the GTX 570 or 580 (in SLI). (Even though I've seen evidence of several GTX 560 ti SLI users running BF3 around 55 FPS on Ultra and 4x MSAA, I will ignore this as speculation against it is too much for me to bother debating about).

If you drop the AA down to 2x, or FXAA, BF3 has no issues, and runs perfectly on a pair of GTX 560 tis for a 60 hz monitor:

All the problems I see with BF3 are caused by using 4x MSAA across both AMD, and Nvidia cards below the GTX 570. For me, buying a pair of GTX 580s right now would never be preferable to simply reducing my AA and waiting for the next gen of 28 nm cards instead.
