So i just got a new Gigabyte R9 280X and it is performing really bad... I think even my older GPU GTX 570 got more fps in games. So with the R9 280x i get usually about 30-45fps in assassins creed III when i am in cities, if i change options its still the same... Please help if you can. Sorry about my english, i am from Finland so i dont write perfectly.

My specs are:

Processor: i5-3550 @3,3 ghz
Motherboard: ASRock H61M-DGS
RAM: 2x4 GB 1333mhz
Graphics: Gigabyte R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 OC
Power: Corsair GS700

Ps. I have tried to find solution on internet but with no luck. And yes i have the latest drivers, and i have tried the drivers with driver cd...

If you had a nvidia card and now have a amd it sounds to me like there are some lingering nvidia drivers causing you issues. I would boot up into safe mode completely uninstall all and drivers AND check for any left over nvidia drivers and uninstall those as well. Then reboot and go to amd website and download latest drivers. Also the newer cards have required motherboard bios updates and driver updates so if you haven't done that I would do both of those while you are at it.
