I upgraded a lot of parts in my computer and now I'm getting worse performance. I'm get between 50-120 fps on counterstrike global offensive, lowest settings. On top of that I'm seeing lots of screen tearing.

specs:

amd a10-6800k apu

amd radeon r9 fury

g skill ripjaws x series 32gb (4 x 8gb) ddr3 1600 (pc3 12800)

samsung 850 evo 500 gb ssd

crossblade ranger motherboard

a benchmark test shows underperformance

I can tell you the drivers are all up to date. Beyond that, assume I know nothing. Thank you!
 
It seems like those are the results one would expect from the integrated graphics on the APU:

Makes me wonder if your PC is defaulting to the APU's graphics and not your r9 Fury.

I would make sure you have the latest drivers for your GPU

and make sure that the card is enabled in the settings
 




I was getting better performance before I upgraded to the fury. Do you think the processor is holding it back that hard? How would I test this?
 


When I open the Radeon Software it shows the active card as the Fury. The drivers are up to date, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling them. Thank you for the suggestions, please let me know if you can think of anything else!
 


I can't seem to find an option to do that in my bios. The only thing I can say is the radeon software is sayinng the R9 is being used. And same thing when you go to display settings for the monitors. Again, I truly appreciate all the help you are offering up.
 
I haven't used AMD's new driver set Crimson, but the old software used to have a place where you can choose how a program is run.
For example you could set Crysis to run from the Fury, but League of Legends from your APU's Radeon HD 8670D
 


So I have been running msi afterburner, and my gpu usage is spiking to 99 then to 0 in rapid fire. All my processors are floating between 70-90%.
Does this help any?
 


I see where you can customize settings for each game, but none of them show a video card selection.
 
Your ram is only running at 1,333 MHz. You should be able to bump that up to 1600 MHz in the BIOS (select an XMP profile) this might increase your GPU score slightly. Aside from that, your Fury-X is performing about right (results from your second run):

UserBenchmarks: Desk 63%, Game 90%, Work 38%
CPU: 63% AMD A10-6800K APU
GPU: 113.9% AMD R9 Fury-X
SSD: 83.8% Samsung 850 Evo 500GB
HDD: 58.8% Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 500GB

Your score was 113.9% which is around about average for the Fury-X. If you want to push the card harder you will probably need a stronger CPU.

 
What PSU? I think maybe your psu is struggling, there is power going out, as your GPU speed ramps up then power to the fans on it drop and it begins to overheat so some safety kicks in and drops it's speed back down a lot. Have you even got all the power cables you need plugged into the graphics card?
 




I don't know the exact psu, but its 520 W. When I punch in my info on a website it says I'll need 470W's. Do you think that is cutting it too close?
