I've just upgraded from gtx 750 2gb (palit) to r9 380 4gb (sapphire)
After deleting all the nvidia drivers i've installed the latest drivers from amd using their auto-detect tool which detects my specs and install the drivers needed.

After doing so, i've played my game GTA V and while still using the same "Medium Settings" my fraps got lower from 50-55fps (gtx 750) to 30-45 fps (R9 380)

My Specs:
AMD A10 6800k 4.1Ghz
Sapphire R9 380 4gb Nitro
Kingston 4gb x2 1333mhz
WD Blue 1tb
Aerocool VP Pro 500w Power Supply

Is the Power Supply the problem? Please Help.
 


Thanks for the reply :)
What cpu would you suggest for my R9 380, i don't want to change my mobo again because i've just bought it, it's an
MSI Military Class 4 A68HM-E33

 
Pretty sure you would have to change your board. Only thing AMD has that can possibly handle that card is fx 8320 and that uses a different socket than what your board uses. You will have to do some research. To find CPU that suites your needs and can handle that card
