We haven't been using this 32 inch TV in my house as of recently and I decided to hook it up to my somewhat decent "gaming pc". My old monitor I was using was not 1080p, and I didn't use a HDMI Cable as well. But when I decided to hook my PC through the R7 260x HDMI Port, all games have been unplayable. I know this isn't the greatest card in the world but it used to run all games on medium settings at at least 60 fps. I've tried all of the usual games I play, and all of them are basically unplayable now, but browsing and watching videos are really smooth. I'm not sure what to do, is there setting I have to take care of in Catalyst Control Center or something?

It says the native resolution is 1366x768, so I'm using that, but the TV i'm sure is possible of 1920x1080 it even says that in the manual, and on the desktop>screen resolution, but it looks terrible and blurry.

Here is my setup, note: I upgraded to the R7 260x graphics card from my A10-6800k as this was previously used for school.

You really think so? I mean I have a R7 260x and the resolution is 1366x768 and in games like league of legends I get 25fps, I think my graphics card is capable of at least 60 fps. I'm not completely sure though. The old resolution was 1600x1200 I believe. Also at the beginning the frames seem fine then drop down to 25ish i got the fps with fraps.

That does seem a little low. What kind of case are you using? What are the temps of your card when you start to get the major FPS drop?

I ran a 3DMark test and it seemed to run fine throughout the test, in the background I had GPU-Z Running, during the 3DMark test I was getting frames of what I should expect, but every game still seems terrible! This is annoying!

The temperatures ranged from 45C during the lowest part to 80C during the most intensive parts of the sky diving demo. But they quickly went down after the intensive scenes.

From the first test it was going from 300 range into the thousands, but later it stabilized and went from 300-500 or low 600 range.
