If your gonna be useing that rig for gameing only,go with Nvidia cards.Sorry,but I'm not completely happy with my 7970 for BF3. I have more minor issues with it than my clanmates & thier 580 & 680. Don't get me wrong,it's a really nice card & the issues are small,but I think I'd be better with Nvidia............... Stuttering & needing to restart almost every night because of lag like gameplay are pissing me off to no end.......... Yes,I have the latest drivers & a 965AMD quad core,8 gig of 1600 ram.Running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit with all updates. 7970 is a great miner though 620 mh/s @ 1060 core & 1375 mem @ 66 C,consuming 340 watts too  |

Hmm that's strange, I have a 7970 myself, and it runs every game max with no problems,
and my card overclocked to 1200 flawlessly, its a dream card at least that's how it played for me, perhaps I got lucky in getting a good card.
Try reinstalling the drivers if it still resides then perhaps you have a bad card, like the 3D engine of the card is malfunctioning.
Try installing older drivers. Reverting back sometimes fixes the problem, or reinstalling them,
I had an issue like this in the past with a different card, and reinstalling worked.

Did you also install the ATI CAPS? That can make a big difference, and IDK why they don't just include that in their drivers. That's what Nvidia does, IIRC, and part of why they're considered to be better drivers. I do'nt have any issues gaming on my 7970, and it really is a beast. |

I don't have any 7970.
But even my 7950 don't have any problems with BF3 at highest settings.
Sapphire Radeon HD7950 - 3GB.
There must be something wrong with your drivers.

CAPS stands for "AMD Catalyst Application Profiles" It's a separate set of profiles and bugfixes for those with Crossfire cards. Fixes a lot of the issues people have with Crossfiring cards. |

the only reason I would buy an AMD card is for mining, go with an NVidia card for gaming, same with CPU i'd get an i7 (though that may be out of price range)

So my AMD gaming computer with an ATI GPU must boggle your mind then. Edit: Let me clarify: I used to use Nvidia and Intel, all the way. They were the shit years ago. Today, they still are, but only at higher price points. At a mid-level, $800 computer, AMD offers a much better bang-for-the-buck system. I dare you to build an $800 system with Intel CPU and SSD, and still get a decent GPU that compares to my 7970. |
