I recently switch from a MSI GTX770 Twin Frozr to a MSI R9 290 Twin Frozr and I'm seeing some pretty big fps drops at times... When I first installed it, everything seemed to run better, but now, it's running 10+ fps lower.

Drivers, are your drivers up-to-date ?

What games did you play? Does this happen in other games? Memory usage can also be a factor of lag/low FPS. Try playing the game again and after around 10-20 minutes leave the game open, alt+tab and open task manager, check how many % is your memory usage.

Uninstalled the Nvidia drivers and downloaded all the new AMD ones.

I just went and got my gtx 770 back, everything runs fine with it, no low fps, no crashes, no temp problems... Weaker card, but at least it works.

Ive been having the same problem recently, i just bought a new r9 280x and it gives me some of the worst fps drops at random times even on LoL which is just dumb. So for now until i can figure out the issue ive gone back to my gtx 560...

Steady 58-60 degrees, but my GPU Usage seems to be jumping pretty crazily from 100% to 10% over and over, everything else looks fine otherwise...

OMG ! You went from nVidia to AMD???
You made the mistake of your life.
I don't have to explain , but PhysX , TXAA , FXAA , Cuda.... DAMN! You are .... Ughhhhh :(

It was, but I had reset the GPU to default after awhile because it was kinda pointless since I've only been playing ESO as of lately. Even without the overclock, the 770 was still running better than this 290 is.

I'd rather have an amd card... PhysX isn't that important... Every other build I've had up until now has had AMD cards, they just weren't priced competitively when I built the system...

Not sure if it's a physical problem, but I'm not hearing much good news about the new drivers for AMD's GPUs, i heard "Mantle" actually gives you an FPS drop instead of an increase because it's not stable yet? or something like that. I believe that the new drivers comes with Mantle or something like that, I don't really know how "Mantle" works.

Anyone else have any advice maybe? Could it just be a bad card? I'm getting some pretty bad stutters on ESO that I never had on the GTX 770 that is making it unplayable... Is it really just bad drivers?

Try uninstalling the latest drivers, and install some older ones (not much older). If there's no improvement in your FPS, it might be just a bad card.

Tried the most recent and even beta drivers, I'll try some older ones though.

That didn't fix it, but now when I run a benchmark on it, the computer shuts off the second the GPU hits 72c... Both the CPU and Mobo were below 40c... So I feel like I probably just have a bum card for sure.

That card is a great card (but you still get bad FPS) and it does produce a lot of heat, so is it a bad card? I don't know. Are the temperatures "OK"? Yes (AMD says that its max is 95 degrees)

It crashes my computer the second it hits 72c though
