I have just upgraded to the R9 270X from AMD 6850.. From what i read on the benchmarks the 270x should have been twice as good as the 6850.. So i was expecting great FPS improvements
I only received the card yesterday and started testing today. I tried 3 games that i used to lag with in my older 6850 card. Which are : Assassins creed 3 and 4 , Thief .
I was surprised however when i got worse performance with the 270x than the 6850 in AC3... And got exactly the same amount of FPS with AC4 and Thief.
I have uninstalled the previous drivers prior to installing the new 270x and there was no errors. I am using the latest beta driver 14.6.
Here is a PIC of the GPU usage and CPU while i was playing AC4. both of them did not exceed 50% yet somehow i was getting about 23 FPS in-game??? Why is not the rest of the power being utilized?

Also , I tried benchmarking it on the heaven unigene benchmark tool .. and i ended up getting average 30.2 FPS even though i turned off AA and put tessellation to normal.. Is this even normal?

Lastly. Here is my full spec in case you were wondering :
AMD FX-6100 3.3Ghz
MSI R9 270X 2GB OC Edition
8GB of RAM and XFX 550Watt PSU.
