Hey Guys,

I have recently got a HD7870 to upgrade from my HD7770 Ghz Edition. When I run games, I notice stuttering and uneven fps, even with drops as small as 2 fps. Games I tried are ARMA 2 Free Dayz, GTA IV ( which crashes after 2 minutues) Far Cry 3 which has hidious fps drops, Farming Simulator and Euro Truck, They all suffer, It feels like no performance increase, I did notice my ram is running at like 300 mhz though, could that be the issue

Please help

Cheers
Luke
