R7 250 FPS problem

[Stephen29]

So, i bought a second hand r7 250 today. I installed the drivers and test some benchmarks (valley) and it works okay. But when I tried it in dota 2. The lowest settings i got 60-90 FPS it should be 100+. Dota 2 is not a Graphics demanding game. At medium 40-60 FPs and at Ultra i get around 20-40 FPS and it gets lower when Im at team clash. It should be 40-60 Ultra. Help please.

Where are you getting these FPS expectations, they seem really high for a 250. I honestly expected the card to get around 10-15 FPS (at most) on Ultra.

Your CPU is also a potential bottleneck due to its low core count and the fact that it doesn't have the best instruction sets to fully take advantage of the Rx 2xx series of graphics cards

Try running an in game resource meter, either CAM from NZXT, EVGA Precision X 16, or MSI afterburner. Screenshot that and link it. It should explain your problem

Do u use the crimson software? It got me about 10-15 more fps on GTA V..

Make sure you don't have any antialising turned on and as the other guy said ur cpu may bottleneck it, it happens to me with GTA V

Also if you get 60 fps at its minimum why would you want more ?

Yes I use crimson.

Lowest should get around 100+ FPS. Its GDDR5.

The longer i play dota 2. The framerate is becoming low. How is that?

 

[GiorgosGRN]

Are you completely sure that it's gpu related?

 

[Ecky]

As others have said, you have a very low-end CPU that can cause FPS to tank in games, but the only way to know for sure is to check CPU and GPU utilization while gaming. If your GPU is below 100%, that means it's having to wait on the CPU to deliver frames.

who told you that a 250 could handle a game on ultra 60fps... It can't you are getting completely reasaonable performance for your specs.

Finally, someone who knows a little about low end GPUs.

 

[Stephen29]

I think the memory is leaking. I should restart thr game every game.

You don't have the hardware. You lack the CPU, GPU, and RAM.

See that the person has a quad core, supposedly i5, CPU and it is using over 4gb of RAM. Even so, they are only getting 50-60fps on an unknown setting and resolution.

You will need better CPU and RAM to achieve 60fps.

Please run 3dmark basic edition (firestrike) and post the link which comes up at the end.
If something's wrong, there we can see it.

Anyways, 100+ on the r7 250 gddr5 card is not possible. Where did you read about this fantastic performance? Did you look at percantage or fps on some benchmark sites?
