What resolution, like 1080x1920, 720x1280, etc?

The temps are fine, what about the CPU and GPU usage while gaming?

70 fps is enough if you have a 60 hz monitor.

I suggest you make sure fps is set to unlimited in the settings.

" Running your games above 60 fps will just put extra strain on your graphics card"

I set my limiter to 63 sometimes because I find it removes some of the tearing however beyond that you will need to buy a 120 hz to reap the rewards.

I would set a frame cap to 60 fps.

I've never played mine craft however many people are telling me that it requires lots of resources.
50 fps is not bad.

I suggest you don't believe everything you see on YouTube.

To be fair, Borderlands 2 is heavily optimized for Nvidia. As are most advanced games.
But that's still ridiculous performance; I'm certain there's another cause. Overheating, or a power shortage, or corrupted drivers, or something.

You should also check to see if your PC is actually using your R9 280X; it might be using the integrated graphics of your i5. I know that's sometimes an issue buying a new card and you have to disable the integrated graphics... But I don't know how to check.

That card can max all settings in borderlands 2 EXCEPT physx, set that to low.

With my system I can lock fps to 72 @ 1080p and never get dips until I go into the arenas.


Something is definately wrong.

Good call, make sure that the display is actually plugged into the GPU, that should make the PC use the GPU.
