hello everyone, i've been posting here a lot recently as im having a bit of trouble with my R9280x GPU, its a DirectCUII from ASUS.
ever since i started playing on this card (December) i had always though that it would of performed a lot better than it was. i started to look up lots of benchmarks for it and so on, i used game benchmarks as i had no idea about the Synthetic ones such as Unigine Heven 4.0.
What i found was that i was Correct (as far as i saw).
Some of the Benchmarks were almost double what my car was getting🙁 e.g.
Sleepingdogs - i got 47FPS, they were getting around 90FPS
i didn't have alot of the games that they were testing out as i had just started PC gaming and didnt want to jump straight into the High end games... so i decided to look at the frames of the games i was palying, and to me, i thought they were worse than what an average R9 280x would get.
at this point i was pretty bummed at the fact my card wasn't performing as well as it had been portrayed 🙁 So i looked up some stuff and came across some results from the Heaven 4.0 Benchmark, i then got this on my pc and ran it myself.
Their Results = 1159 - 46FPS http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1851/pg4/asus-radeon-r9-280x-directcu-ii-top-graphics-card-review-3dmark-and-heaven-40.html
My Results = 582 - 21FPS
now i really have no idea why my GPU is performing a lot worse than it is said to... i was hoping you guys would know wht i can do to fix this
