My card isn't performing its potential. This is a new card. I have the latest drivers and everything. I cant figure out whats wrong with it. It has fps dips in the first bioshock just when I'm turning. IN minecraft other people get 120+ fps but im only getting 50-70. I know thats good but I see missing potential. In borderlands 2 it dips a lot too like bioshock. Please help.

Second, the FPS dips in Borderlands 2 were a result of incorrect buffer sizing by the Catalyst driver suite. Install the latest (Catalyst 13.8 beta) and this should be resolved for Borderlands 2 and hopefully Bioshock. However, if performance is suffering due to another factor such as other dated hardware, poor storage, lack of memory, malware, or an overly aggressive anti-virus then your GPU and its associated drivers may not be at fault.

sorry for to specs. I have amd fx 8350 a gigabyte 990fx ud3 mb. The build is brand new so i can't think of anything else. But i will try to redownload the drivers and see if that helps.
