I recently built a PC, basic components are as follows:
AMD FX-6300 cpu
ASUS R9-270 gpu
8 GB ram
ASrock 960GM/U3S3 FX mobo
600w psu
Now, as I built this computer mostly for gaming, I was under the impression it would be pretty optimal for the games I play (League of Legends, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, also just started playing Elder Scrolls Online). While I can run Dota 2 maxed with almost no issues (a couple heroes' particle effects kinda screw with my framerate but nothing major), in games like Elder Scrolls Online it just tanks.
A friend of mine used a pretty similar build recently as well, with the same processor, an R9 270x, and a slightly more expensive motherboard than me, and he gets insanely better performance in Elder Scrolls Online compared to myself, with me stuck at medium if I want 60+ fps, and him going with ultra for mostly 60+ except in high-activity areas. I was under the impression that the R9 270 and R9 270x are pretty close to each other in terms of performance (about a 5-8% difference IIRC). Is there possibly something wrong with the hardware itself? I have suspicions about the motherboard possibly being an issue since I thought I kinda cheaped out on it, but I'd like an opinion from someone else.
Thanks.
