yae, and some show my 7970 as a 200.
I'm not spending the 2 grand to measure it. I'll just try to tune it out if I should ever see it.
 
~$5K... but the point there wasn't to get you to measure it and see, just to back fill on the concepts. :)
 
yea, I can "grasp" the concept, is this one of the things that NVidia vsync covers?
 
I thought vsync matched the frame rate coming out of your card with the refresh rate of your monitor?
 
Indeed it does. It seems to help with microstutter, but will add more input lag. I guess pick the lesser of two evil's there...
 
so at what point does it delete those extra frames before they produced by the card, there by reducing the load on the card or between the card and the monitor?
 
Most AMD cards are not direct rebrand but have some changes.
7970 = 280x at different clocks
7950 = 280 at different clocks
7870 = 270X, 270x has higher clocks and better memory
7850 =/= 270 as 270 has more shaders and some other things, closer is R7 265
7790 ~ R7 260 with some little changes
7770 ~ R7 250X with some little changes
7750 can't be compared to anything
7730 ~ R7 250 with some little changes
R7 240 can't be compared to anything

7970 can be flashed to R9 280 and I think that 7950 can be flashed to R9 280.

I might try that. I have 3 x 280x and a 7970 was donated to me. I might try to flash it to a 280x and see what happens. Thanks.
