So i bought the R9 290x.
I took out my HD 7950 and installed the new card, deleted old drivers etc and installed the new ones. It ran like a dream, amazing frame rates in BF3 at max with AA 120fps+ also ran hitman absolution bench maxed at 80fps average.
But it had been a while since i had formatted my pc so i thought id give windows 8.1 a shot (was on 7)!!
So installed 8.1, updated everything installed mobo drivers even updated my bios (which i think may be the problem) and my fps had dropped dramatically like 45-55 fps average in BF3 hit man 39fps.
I put it down to windows 8.1 so reinstalled win 7 and STILL the same problems...
I just DONT understand, the only thing i can think of is the bios!
im so confused right now!
PLEASE HELP!
