My card suddenly started getting massive frame drops and average terrible frames in games like BF4, Skyrim (With shaders), Crysis 3, etc. On BF4 I get an average of 45 fps on medium, and with constant drops to 10 and 20. I got 45 fps on my old 660 with the same rig. Tried the 14.* drivers and 13.* drivers, no change. Tried mantle: same average fps but frame drops were more frequent and far more severe.
My Specs:
i5 3570(non-k)
MSi R9 280x Twin Frozr 3gb GDDR5
8gb ram
800w psu
120gb ssd and 2tb hdd.
I feel like I'm going to get a ton of replies saying: "You're bottle-necking your GPU, get a better processor." Nope. Same results in my other rig that has a 4770 but is basically the same. And an i5 3570 is by no means a "bad" or "hindering" cpu. Maybe this is just drivers, and the temperature of the card has been totally fine.
