R9 290 And Bad Fps In Battlefield 3?

[Shlutka]

Please help!

So I just got the Sapphire TRI-X OC R9 290, I opened up Battlefield 3 (Playing on the =ADK= TDM Nosahr Canals Server. Normally around 65 players on) and I was getting an average of 50 fps. I'm not impressed. I got an average of 66 with my 650 Ti BOOST. Could it be bottlenecking? Or is my PSU limiting it's full potential? Also are there any driver fixes or certain things I can change to fix this? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

CPU: FX-6100 (Is there a way I can check my motherboard?)
PSU: Cooler Master i600 (600w)

Your CPU is very almost certainly bottlenecking in multiplayer.

Is there a forum thread or a benchmark I can view of this?

First generation FX series processors, aka Bulldozer processors, are notoriously weak in terms of gaming. They lack adequate single threaded performance to support games such as BF3. You would benefit from a processor upgrade to a 8320 or to the intel side.

That's exactly what I was planning on.

Thank you!
