Hello ...

I bought sapphire r9 270X 2GB OC recently, but when I play some of the new games I got low fps like 15 - 25 for most games.
I have kinda old CPU phenom II x4 955 3.2 GHZ ... do I have a bottle neck ?? or there is something wrong with my new card ?

My pc spec.
AMD Phenom II x4 955 3.2 GHZ
Sapphire Dual-X R9 270X 2GB OC
8 GB Kingston Hyperx ddr3
MSI 790FX-GD90

I am really worried about having a problem with my gpu, please help.

Thank you and have a nice day

I dont think that your CPU is your bottleneck. To check this, you should lower the details and compare FPS before and after. The problem with your board is, that you cant upgrade to FX, so you will need to buy a decent board. If you have low budged, you can still use the Asus M5A78L_LE. Its kinda cheap and supports the FX 8350. Its only the 760G chipset but its ok for the price. But first of all you should do the details step please.

I do not believe its the cpu either i have a phenom ii x4 965 with a r9 270 both overclocked and i dont get any bottlenecks not even in bf3 the gpu usage is always in the 90's, and in tomb raider it is pegged at 99% gpu usage going any where from 59-80 fps. You should check or drivers, is your hard drive slow?

Well i have the same problems with a MSI R9 270 Gaming Edition... the thing is that i had a HD 5830 i played a lot of games on ultra settings... i upgrade my whole rig to:

Gygabyte GA 970a UD3P
FX 8320 - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance
EVGA 600B PS

I had an I3 550 Bottlenecking my GPU so i bought new CPU, MOBO and new PS (Just in case power was the problem)... but nope... i still have some problems with my card... its performance its not what i expected... its avg Fps in game are way to low comparing them to what ive found on internet reviews...

I´ve done CPU unparking, disabled power saving features from my MOBO, install uninstalled drivers even fresh reinstall of windows (7 and 8.1), i ran a lot of benchmarks and my scores are way too low comparing them to older cards so im almost giving up on this one dont know what else to do...
