I got it and in Battlefield 4 notably, I get around 40-50 FPS, sometimes on just medium/high. On some maps I get 60 but it's rare now.

My friend has a GTX 770 and he runs it all on ultra with well over 60 FPS. I just don't get it.
 
i average ~80+ in most 64 player maps( with one card) 7970ghz @ 1150/6200(1550) I set my power limit to + 30 via registry change which lets you go to +50 in msi afterburner and this is with my stock voltage of 1256.

What driver version are you running?

your 280x should be a hair faster at the same clock rates

Would OC'ing help at all?
 
Any voltage boost at 1200? I know if i dont raise the voltage my card drops its usage percent in games to ~ 85 and i would get tons of errors in occt.


Can you confirm your gpu usage ingame?

I would say over clock your cpu for now as well anyways

In game and Skype, iTunes, Chrome opened, 94%.
 





94% gpu usage? honestly you should be killing whatever processes you dont need when gaming.

sometimes chrome alone can be using a bit of cpu usage as well as memory.
