Your friend processor is better at those older games and your is better at newer games.

The big AMD octo-core only shines on multi threaded games. Intels have a much higher IPC than AMDs do. So, believe it or not, on those games, your FX-8350 is bottle necking the R9-280X. I presume you are gaming at the same resolution and in-game settings.
