Hey guys, so i found out that my new MSI R7 260X is not meeting the expectations of the benchmarks that are online. It is nowhere near them.

On this website:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2014/02/13/amd-completes-r7-series-of-graphics-cards-with-new-radeon-265-cuts-price-on-260x/

It says that the R7 260X should be getting 48 fps on high preset on the built in sleeping dogs benchmark. I am getting an average of 31 fps and a max of 38 fps. Please help me idk what to do. I am using the same drivers that the website benchmarker is using, i dont what the problem could be. I should be getting a couple frames higher because my gpu is OC, but i am instead getting a drastically lower fps than the benchmarks. What could this be? Could this be a faulty gpu, or could this be something else? I need to know because then i can RMA the card if needed. I really hope that it doesnt come to that. Please help :(

Thanks in Advance.

I fixed the problem, apparently it was the new beta drivers that were causing it, i went back to the previous drivers and now it is flawless!

Thanks for all the help guys..... -.- :p LOL
