By all estimates, the 780 should kick the shit out of the 7950. Granted, the 7950 was overclocked and was pretty damn fast, but probably only got to ~7970 performance.
In benchmarks, the 780 destroys my old card. It's benching 40-60% better than my old card in both Heaven 4.0 and Valley 1.0. However, in games the performance is noticeably worse.
The two games I play most are Day Z Standalone and Battlefield 4 multiplayer. Now I realize both of those games are mainly CPU driven, but why would my overall performance go DOWN not up? In BF4 my frame rates are constantly dropping down into the 30's and 40's even though I'm running LOWER settings than with my 7950. Yes the game is better optimized for AMD, but this is ridiculous.
I've reinstalled drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode twice now and it has not solved the problem. Did I get a bunk card? Does the 780 just suck (I highly doubt this)?
From everything I've read I should be getting smoother frame performance with NVIDIA but that is definitely not the case. It feels like a driver issue, but nothing I've tried has been able to solve it. Does this mean I absolutely need to upgrade to Win 8.1?
