HI,

I am getting really worried right now.

I just buit a new PC :

i5 4670k
MSI 280x
8GB gskill 2400Mhz RAM
120Gb EVO SSD

Well, in BF4 I get framedrops sometimes, but what worried me the most was trying to play Far Cry 3 and getting 15 FPS on the starting scene when the bad guy is talkin. Lowering resolution and settings all to low result in no improvement. Whats wrong with my PC. Is there a way I could benchmark it for like a overal performance and see if its all ok?

Hmmm, that system should be faster than that. What drivers are you using for the r9?

As for benchmarks, you could try 3d Mark as that will give you a comparison to similar systems.

That is strange have you checked if you're temperature are all fine DOWNLOAD? Also what sort of power supply are you using and did you plug in the extra pci-e connectors (Not trying to be patronising but I've seen it happen).

I hava a XFX pro 650W. I think I plugged in all the right connectors.
here my 3dmakr demo scores:

Fire strike 1.1 : 6960 (8218,6872,3271)
Cloudgate1.1 : 16168(50261,4762)
Ice Storm 1.2 _ 137750(266877,51143)

Card MAX temp :67ºC
Win 8.1 64 bit

PS:crysis 3 seem ok , so maybe its just the game

If the other games work normally then it most likely is the game, do you have the latest patch/update for it?

I have a way, way weaker PC than yours and I still hold 30+ fps in all parts of the game on ultra, with HBAO, enhanced alpha to coverage, and 2xMSAA at 1080p.

There's no way you should be getting below 30 fps. :s
