Hello everyone,
First of all, I would like to mention that I have zero experience with graphics cards. I recently bought the Sapphire HD 7990 thinking that with this card I would be able to play any game that is out right now on max graphics. However, after I had installed the card and tried out my games, I realized that I am unable to handle ultra graphics on a lot of games (Hitman: Absolution, Diablo III, even Mirror's Edge). Whenever I try to play on max graphics, I tend to have massive fps drops frequently and I do not understand why. Some games work fine such as Battlefield 3, but many do not. Did I install my card incorrectly or something? I have the latest beta driver for my card, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. Sorry for the terrible grammar, I suck at English.

I never used the normal drivers due to the stories I heard about frame stuttering and stuff. I could give it a try though. I just thought beta drivers fixed all the problems. I saw a few articles showing the differences in crisis 3 with the drivers, but I can't even handle crisis 3 on high.
