I am looking for a graphics card because the one that I am having is giving very bad FPS when playing Battelfield 4 game. I have checked some review about Radeon HD 7770 that can run the BF4 game at some decent FPS and it also fits in my budget. So will this video card suffice for my usage? Also what is the difference between this graphics card and my old HD 5000 series graphics card that has the same 1gb memory? Thanks for any answers.
The Radeon HD 7770 is a good graphics card but you wont be able to play Battlefield at high settings and there is no fun playing this game at low and medium settings. So, if you spend some more then you can get the HD 7850 which is much more superior in comparison. With this card you can expect to play each and every game at high settings without any issues.
Between the HD 5000 series and the HD 7770 graphics card you can expect a huge performance boost because there are more Shader cores with GDDR5 memory running at 128bit bus compared to DDR memory on a 64bit bus. The 5000 series cards were like 2 years old and with these new 7000 series there is no contest at all. And since your motherboard can support the Radeon 5000 series then it will also support HD 7770 as well.
Even I agree that the HD 7770 will not be able to play Battlefield 4 very good although it is much better than a Radeon 5000 series. You need to take HD 7850 or some higher card in order to play BF4 to get good FPS otherwise this game will simply lag and make the game unplayable. So either invest in a better card or else you will not be able to enjoy this game much.
