Hello, I've got a question about my new Gigabyte R9 280X. Performance seems low compared to benchmarks I've found online, so I was hoping to draw on the expertise in this forum to see if there might be a problem.

System specs:

AMD FX 8350 4.0GHz
Asus M5A99X R2.0 motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3-1600
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM
EVGA 650W 80+ Gold Certified
Gigabyte R9 280X OC 3GB

I haven't overclocked anything... GPU temps never go over about 73 - 74 degrees, CPU temp can get to about 60 degrees.


In games, I generally seem to get 20 - 30 lower FPS than what people with similar set ups have posted. At 1920x1080 and with ultra settings, in Far Cry 3 I get about 30 - 50 FPS; Hitman Absolution 40 - 50 FPS; Watch Dogs 30 - 40 FPS; Arma 3 20 - 40 FPS.


I have attached a few screenshots from different benchmarks.

If anybody has any idea whether these results are normal or if the card is under-performing, I'd be grateful to hear your opinion.


Cheers!
