Hi all, I just recently purchased a Gigabyte R9 280 OC 3GB graphics card for my AMD FX 8-100 overclocked 3.8ghz build... the computer had a MSI Raedon 7750 2GB in it before i installed the new R9 280. And I've tryed everything I reinstalled the drivers and I'm still getting really low fps with the new card. I get 10-15 fps on The Forest with medium settings, 10-15 fps medium settings Dayz, 30fps max settings on minecraft, It ran great on the Unigine Valley Benchmark but when I play actual games it does like sh*t Any advice would be super appreciated. Thanks

you already look on catalyst? because maybe they are setting to work in low, don't make sense, but it's worth a look.

you already looked at the catalyst? it may be that the performance configuration is marked as poor performance, worth being checked.

How can I check that? Because the gpu clock and memory clock was right.

Any other ideas anyone? I really need help.

on catalyst choose advanced configuration, and gonna Appears more options on the left side, if not im wrong is something like performance. (sorry for my english =] ) hope this helps.

I couldn't tell you anything about those specific games, but have you turned off v-sync? v-sync usually limits the fps, however I don't think it would go as down as 10-15.
Check if you have the latest drivers. try tweaking the game settings... And you would have to consider an option that your card might be damaged. What are the temps and what is the gpu load while you play?
