Just wanted to add one more thing to note, on my 8350/390 setup I recall getting almost the same fps as you averaging in the 30s on ultra presets. It is a pretty demanding game and the only one in my library to run so low in fps on ultra.

CPU usage is definitely higher than the GPU but it's not maxing out at 100 or staying constantly high. I am not sure if that would qualify as a definite bottleneck but on average the CPU usage does seems to be staying above the 70% usage while the GPU usage is lower. I am no expert on this but...

What resolution and FPS are you looking to achieve or what are the specs of your monitor? One way of checking whether you are really "bottlenecking" is to use MSI afterburner and compare the GPU usage to the CPU usage. If the CPU usage is higher or maxed out then you might really be looking at...

Long story short, I am trying to connect the outputs of two sound cards to one set of Logitech 5.1 (X530) speaker set and I would also like for them to be able to play at the same time. I will be using the onboard audio and an add on sound card on the same PC.The logitech cable connections are...

Witcher 3 does that to the 390. lol. But seriously certain games like witcher 3 and the dvision cause the 390 to go into jet plane mode. I have the gigabyte version and I believe that use to be in the 80 degree range when running witcher 3. While the 390 does run hot you could have an issue with...

If you aren't experiencing any crashes I seriously doubt you are experiencing overheating. The card just runs hot on heavy demand games which will prob have the card in the 70 to 80 degree Celsius range. On average most games will have the card temp in the 60 degree range. I have the same card...

It's a FX8350 with R9 390 and 16GB ram. For peripherals it only has a logitech mouse, Rosewill RK6000 keyboard, Logitech X530 and a Xbox 360 wired controller. Running the latest bios as well. Honestly I didn't try it with windows 7 but I vaguely remember having issues trying to install win7...

You can use MSI afterburner and compare the CPU load to the GPU load to confirm.

Hey folks, I am having a strange issue with the on board Ethernet. On windows 8 after some time (hours maybe), the Ethernet connection will just stop working. I then need to disable the lan connection and re-enable it on windows to get it to work. I downloaded the latest drivers which made no...
