gigabyte r9 270

Hi guys so this is kinda of a weird question but here it goes: So i bought a r9 270 gigabyte 2gb of craigslist used for maybe 4 months as the seller listed. I came back home checked out the card and it looked fine. I dissembled the card cleaned it (dusting and adding some Arctic Cooling Mx-4) then re assembled the card. After that i re-installed windows ( just to start fresh cause it was slowing down) and downloaded league of legends. So when i went in game i noticed my fps in game is about 90fps I know league is not a intensive game and that a 1280x1024 monitor should be a joke for the r9 270 to run but somehow i was getting 90fps maxing everything out. I do run this on an AMD A-10 5800k (an Apu) but the igpu is disabled im pretty sure. The card is overclocked to 1050mhz ( instead of its 975 oc clock) and the memory is oc'd also to 6000mhz (instead of the default 5600mhz clock). I have no idea whats wrong here.

Then try setting the core clock on the gpu to a certain number or run stress testing and see the GPU usage/CPU Usage

Did you get your R9 270 from a miner?

You can see all what I've tried to do with him , if you think you can help him further then go ahead otherwise I recommend that he returns the card to the guy and get a refund.

Fallout was doing that for some reason, But all you have to do is just set powertune to +4 and that solves the problem, I think it has something to do with Windows 8.1 and the stupid power saving crap. You can also go into power settings and turn that off.

Okay yeah I am in window 8.1 also the card did not come from a miner he used it for gaming also how would you set the power tune to +4?
