SAPPHIRE AMD R9 280 Graphics Card

Hi, Recently I've been playing a lot of Fallout New Vegas using my Sapphire AMD R9 280 graphics card and at first it was running nicely at 60 FPS then all of a sudden it stopped running so nicely and is now running between 10 and 15 FPS. what do I do?

Have you checked your GPU temps when you are playing games? My friend had this problem due to overheating of his cards which eventually caused a BSOD.

I haven't no, I will have a look. But other games run fine it just seems to be Fallout and as been as Fallout 4 is coming out in November I hope it's not just that my card doesn't like the series xD

Might be due to outdated driver issue. Try updating your gpu drivers ?

Try taking at a look at the GPU work temps. Could tell you a lot. Download something like GPU tweak from Asus. It allows you to monitor your GPU performance through a graph.
