Really, for the money going from a 5 year old GTX295 to a brand new 7970 from Asus top edition, that honestly it doesn't feel that different yet. But I guess that's what happens when you play a current game you've already been playing.
Example, tomb raider built in benchmark, before on gtx295 I got ~43.4FPS avg, with everything as high as it could go - no tesselation or DX11, but with ultra textures and a mix of normal, high, (if I could choose it, I chose it).
Then with this card, I just chose everything maxed, Ultra everything, but also added triple filter and vertical sync, and I got 56.1avg.
It's 1920x1200.
It's good, a bit smoother, a few lights.. But then again I've been up all night getting it to play nice with Win 8... So maybe I had the shits.. Batman arkham city looked ok, similar to how it was. BF3 looked VERY similar.. Just heaps better FPS (10-15-??) but it was already playable.
I really wonder if I should have stuck to my guns.. The gtx295 is heaps heavier as well.i don't know man.. Anyway.. I'll update after some sleep
