Anybody having problem with the new R7-260x? Cause i got plenty of issues when using it.
1. Performance
I play Amazing Spider Man maxed out, sometimes it runs smooth, sometimes it runs laggy (unstable), but when I use GTX 650, everything is fine, no laggy, very smooth (stable).
2.High-temp
High as hell, goes up to 50 or more, CPU goes up to 60 degrees (FX-8320). With GTX 650, both CPU and GPU get 40 or less.
These are the issues i've got so far.
 
Solution
gpu-z almost always shows it as 1,1 if there is no load for gpu thats why next to it there is a question mark with test option click on that and it will show up as 2.0, since many with the same card are having the sasme problems i say its the damn drivers try older ones or beta ones if you still dont have those if no then wait for new ones

Perhaps try and update your cpu drivers with a program like razor game booster if u don't know how yourself or check your psu if it is not providing enough voltage that could be the problem for the fluxuating performance.

I got a 750W PSU, 750W should be enough, right?
 

It's a more powerful graphics card, it's only natural that some more heat is generated. It's still well within acceptable limits.

Okay, i accept that, but how about lags? It's the driver problem, right?

Thx for the information.
 

Tom's review found it superior to the GTX 650 Ti in all 7 tested games. And the GTX 650 Ti is, of course, significantly faster than the basic GTX 650.

And here's what Techpowerup found:

That's the R7 260X outperforming the GTX 650 by more than 50%!
