I recently purchased a tahiatie 7870 LE as it was featured on the site. After purchase i've still had pretty average results, which is shocking because the card is supposed to be awesome. Anyways, when I click on the cataclyst control center icon on my taskbar, it comes up with multiple versions of each of my graphics cards, the onboard one with the cpu and the 7870 le, anyone know if this may be affecting my fps in games?

This may be a stupid question but worth checking. Do you have your monitor connected to the Motherboard or connected to the GPU?

If it's connected to the motherboard it's using the onboard graphics and you will need to connect to the GPU.

Do you have the latest drivers installed?

Could you describe your 'average' results?

yes, it is plugged into the GPU. ive actually had that problem before haha. All of the latest drivers are installed aswell. I have a Tahaiti 7870 Powercolor LE, which is supposed to be an amazing card for 250 $. It runs bioshock infinite/tomb raider/ Planetside 2, all on medium settings with average of 30 fps. Sorry for the late response btw. I have 8 gigs of ddr3 ram. a GAz68ap-d3 mobo/ heres dx
