XFX Radeon R7 250 Graphics Card running slow!

[Jagsterarea51]

Ok so my PC has been running slow. I would drop under 60 fps playing CS:GO on the lowest settings (that should never happen).

I look up on youtube gameplay of this graphics card and I see people playing BF4 with 60 FPS and high end games perfectly fine with this graphics card.

Here is the graphics card I have - http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-250-Graphic-Card/dp/B00IJWQTC4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1438230140&sr=8-3&keywords=R7+Radeon+200+Series

I checked to make sure the fan was working and it was, but the graphics card was very hot to touch (I did this not having any game open for a while). So could it be overheating, even though I have no game open and didn't have a game open for about 3 hours?

I have 8 gb RAM and my processor is a AMD FX-4300 Quad-Core Processor (3.80 GHz).

Any help is appreciated!

Your PC running slow in games in this case has nothing to do with graphics card. CS:GO requires a cpu with strong single core performance which your FX 4300 lacks, hence you are seeing slow load times and such. BF4 is a game that uses multicore rather than sinlge core.

Your only solution, overclock the CPU.
