I recently got a new Radeon R9 270x Toxic Graphics card. After testing it with a few newer games (Metro Last light) it proved its worth and preformed with excellent FPS. Then I ran my favorite game of all time, Fallout 3. It ran a fairly steady FPS of 60. Pleased, I installed a few graphics mods. When I ran the game with the mods installed I had quite a few fps drops, so I want to know why can the card run a beautiful game Metro Last Light, But has some trouble running a graphically enhanced Fallout 3? Keep in mind while Fallout 3 has many graphic mods, Metro still looks much much better.

Because graphic mods are more taxing. I think its normal if you decided to have 2k textures graphic mods.
R9 270X is a mid range gpu. You are expecting too much from it.
