Just a quick and dirty "FYI" (I'll do more in-depth benches later) but I just swapped out my 7870 to a 7950 (both Gigabyte Windforce) and can easily run 4xMSAA in BF3 at constant 60fps... With 7870 (OCed to 1200/1400) I had to bump MSAA down to 2x and was still getting dips below 60 (45~55fps range) on big Armored Kill maps especially the once with a lot of foliage... With 7950 (at stock 900/1250) I'm rock steady at 60, unless I get a million mines exploding in front of my tank at any give time... Ran a quick Heaven bench and my stock 7950 was faster than my highest OC for the 7870 (1210/1400)... Not bad for a $50 upgrade (after I'll sell my 7870)...
Now 7870 i a HELL of a card for the money, and I couldn't have been happier with it. It played all my games (except for BF3) at highest possible settings with no sweat, and I'd recommend it to anybody at that price range. But I'm a stickler about the MSAA crap, and BF3 really needs it...
I'll have some more benches, and OC results later...
