Hello, I have problem with my new graphics card. I have MSI R7 260X 2GB OC Edition. This graphics card runs high-end games very smoothly (Bioshock Infinite ~60FPS on Very High setting, 1080p). I deleted, Installed, reinstalled drivers and no difference. On GPU-Z and every where else on my PC it shows that I have "R7 200 Series" graphics card (I had Gigabyte GT640 and it sad that I have that not like "NVidia GT600 series"). So whats' the problem? Any solutions?

Look, do not buy two cards. That is NEVER the right answer unless they are top of the tine. Get the SINGLE best card you can afford. You will be WAY happier.

You cannot even overclock that CPU AT ALL. The cooler is pointless. You can ONLY overclock Intel K series CPUs.

Get an i5 4690 and an h97 motherboard and forget about SLI/CF and overclocking. This will leave you with the most left over money for the GPU and will give you the overall best performance for the money.

I have AMD Athlon X4 750K, 12GB 1600MHz RAM, Windows 8.1, GPU on Idle ~35-40C and Load ~55-60C, don't know how to check CPUs temperature. No overclock.

Found solution for FPS, but not drivers (so I'm still waiting for solution for driver-thingy). I turned down Anti-liasing in AMD control center and I level'd down mipmap and disabled anisotropic filtering on Minecraft. I hope it worked for others (now I get ~60-90FPS on max graphics, with shaders [SEUS 10.1] I get ~45-60FPS [WTH?])

I'm using the stock one.

Did you intend to post a picture?

The 260x is a nice entry level GPU, but it really is not a hardcore gaming GPU. To sustain high frame rates, with some games, you will have to dial back some of your graphics/video settings.

I would recommend you swap out your OEM heatsink for something more effective and efficient.

What make/model is your case?

It doesn't show the picture for some weird reason so I edited and gave a link. I have an old case "Tracer Nedler"
http://www.tracer.pl/en/product/tracer-nedler-tro-203-12 . Well, can you suggest some coolers?

The 260x is WAY overkill for minecraft as it can run easily on integrated graphics.

78c is too hot. MAX for that CPU is about 75.

Also, minecraft is VERY VERY CPU intensive as it is not a "game" whereas it is a JAVA prompt. The 750k simply is not the best CPU for minecraft. Something like an i3 would be what I would have recommended as minecraft(read JAVA) HEAVILY prefers strong core performance vs. more cores.

This is very true. That is is why the CPU needs to be cooled down to operate better and a better heatsink would help in that regard.

The FM2 platform is really suited better for light gaming and general PC use as well. It is an entry level system as well.

100% agree. OP, I would first and foremost, sort out your heat problem. The max temp you should EVER see is 75 and that would be in a burn test. If you see more than that in normal gaming, you have a decent issue. Ensure you properly installed the heatsink and the fan is spinning.

Everything is install correctly. The cooler is not wigleling.

There is no reason to run two 260x's A single better card would be WAY more ideal. Plus a motherboard that will run 2 GPUs will cost around $100 for any platform.

I ment that to buy new motherboard for future so I could buy two high-end graphic cards.
