My R9 270X can't run Crysis 3 on max

Now I know that this is considered a mid card but still, I've seen some benchmarks and I did not get that FPS. If you've ever played Crysis 3, in the first mission I got 35 FPS avg., sometimes it was 25 on very high AA OFF, FFAO or whatever it's called (sorry) was also off, if you go on Youtube, people get 45 even 50 FPS on very high with AA and all that. I've only played through the first mission so it might change, but i'm not so sure, I have the latest drivers. I don't know but I think it's because of my CPU...

GPU: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2043&lid=1
CPU: Intel i3-4130 3.4GHz quad-core
PSU: 550W

If you need anything else, ask.

It is your cpu. Crysis 3 uses all four cores on my i5 so your i3 might be a slight bottleneck. Also, in those reiviews they use high end i7s most of the time.

Yes but have you seen this

He's running this: Intel Core i5-3470 3.20GHz
But the FPS difference is huge, perhaps its because in the first mission there were so many particles and the rain, and stuff like that to show off their engine which is great, and in his mission there's not much stuff going on...

If Pentium Gs performance is 100% then I3 is 150-160% and I5 is 200%. At the same MHz the I5 is 25-30% more productive. That can make a huge difference and explain your occurrence.

Yeah, the i5 is a better processor, so that's the issue, I can live with it, thanks everyone.
