Anyone have this gpu?

[Guest Brody_Peffley]

I was going to buy this gpu with my new pc but I don't know how well it will be. I was a nvidia fan. But I wanted to be a amd fan too, So i was going to get this gpu but I don't know how well it will handle on ksp, Anyone tell me how well it will handle ksp with over 200 parts? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161420

KSP lags due to physics, not graphics (this is true for many people). I also do not believe that KSP has proper GPU offloading. if that purchase is strictly for KSP, do not waste your money IMHO.

Well its for every game really like dishonored minecraft and battlefield 4 when it comes out. I do have a eight core cpu amd fx 8120 So If that helps...

Number of cores does nothing for KSP as of yet (no multi-threading). If it is for more than KSP, get it. I run an NVidia GeForce GPU integrated card and, other than KSP due to it's alpha nature, have yet to find a game I can't run maxed.

Yeah KSP uses only 1 core. And the lag is cause by the complex calculation, not about the nice display of GPU load.

My PC runs an I5-3570k overclocked, running about 4ghz. Graphics card wise I've got an Nvidia 660ti 3gb. Ram is packing around 16 gb? I have absolutely zero issues with KSP until part count starts getting around 800, then she'll hit the first tier of "slow down". Around 1000 is the second level of "more slow" and anything over 1500 is just crawling.

This is just to give you a decent benchmark. This rig can also play most modern games at their highest settings, and if not absolute highest maybe one setting turned down. Monitor runs at 2048x1152, so that's not helping the graphics card lol.

A buddy of mine sold his 660ti to get a 7950 and absolutely regrets it. The 7950 "on paper" is a better card, but AMD's have always had driver issues and he had to screw with clock settings and such to get the thing stable. I'm not a fanboy for AMD or Nvidia, I just buy what works and works well.
