Hi, i recently upgraded my graphics card from the HD 6870 to the R9 280X, i have seen that there is a difference but im not entirely sure that im getting what im meant to be getting in terms of FPS. in battlefield 4 i start off at 60 FPS and then as i get closer to where all the action is it drops to as low as 38 making it hard to play sometimes. i overclocked my Cpu and did see a considerable difference with the smoothness but i still get drops. In far cry 3 i also get drops when looking in a certain direction.
Specs:
AMD Phenom 965BE @4.1
Asus R9 280X
8GB RAM
600W FPS PSU
Corsair H60 water cooler
Asus M5A99X motherboard

thank you to anybody who replies.

Make sure the driver is up to date. I wouldn't consider 38 fps unplayable. You shouldn't have any problems. Try lowering a few of the graphics settings and see if that helps too.
