Hey Guys I've built a high end gaming computer using
Radeon 295x2, XFX model
Intel 4960X Extreme Edition
Rampage IV Black Edition
64 GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 mHz (Motherboard pushing down to 1333mHz)
1300W EVGA PSU
H110i CPU Cooler
CPU runs at 30-45 degrees under load, graphics card around 60, not too hot.
I'm running games like Crysis 2 at 20-35 FPS and Shogun 2 at 10-25fps. This performance is awful for the card.
I'm running max settings at 2560x1440 Resolution. Anyone got any ideas?
I've also got the latest bios and 14.4 AMD Drivers, I toned back from the Betas, they had the same Issue.
Thanks Guys

No guarantee this is the problem but no harm in investigating, http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1703696/core-par...

What is your gpu usage on both of the cores while playing crysis 2? Also if you completely wipe your AMD driver using driver sweeper.
Uninstall your AMD drivers.
Download driversweeper http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/guru3d-driver-sweepe...
Go into safe mode and un-install your AMD driver with driver sweeper.
After you have done that reinstall the AMD 14.4 drivers. Also if you had any other graphics drivers (say one you didn't uninstall before) get rid of that too.
See if that changes anything, if not I would look at the card. Try reseating it and check it.
If none of this works it may be a fault in the card but usually that is un-likely.

I just thought of something as well, windowing a game causes you to only use one GPU, I'm pretty sure when crysis goes windowed due to the DX11 bug my fps hasn't changed from that of fullscreen, is it possible the system is only using one core?Remember the r9-295x2 is 2x r9 290x's. Even a single r9 290x could max crysis 2 easily.
Windows will not reinstall your AMD drivers automatically. Windows has it's own display driver so you can actually see your monitor.

Windows is sayings it's automatically installing the 14.1 AMD drivers the moment I log in, it says 'AMD R9 200 Series'Okay, when you installed your driver did you use AMD's automatic installer.
Go to the start menu, and in the search bar type msconfig.
-Go to startup
-in startup is there anything that starts up that may be installing the drivers
-turn it off.
Now just go un-install the drivers and use driver sweeper in windows safe mode to completely un-install them completely, and then reinsstall them again.

Page file usage is massive, like at the top, don't think that means much, of the 12 CPU threads like 2 hit 100 but a few hit 90's. Is CPU bottle necking? Or just devoting itself as normal?What is gpu usage while playing crysis 2? if it drops below 98% that means something is bottlenecking it.

I fixed the problem, I put my ram back to it's native 1600 MHz and now crysis 2 gets 100fps at some pointsYou overclocked the card?
Okay so is it fixed now or are there still bad fps problems?
Maybe the memory chips were over heating (memory temp does not show in monitoring) Then the card clocked down to protect itself. Im not sure if the cooler covers the chips.

No I didn't over clock the card, the motherboard naturally under clocks RAM of 1600 MHz to 1333mhz, I changed it back to 1600 and it fixed the problem, but my computer crashed during an intense. Like, super intense, shogun 2 ultra battle for some reason and I had to turn it off from the power supply to get it to post, hopefully it doesn't stuff up, I'll find out soon

should mention, FPS difference between 1333 and 1600 would be a frame or two, not a whopping 65. The reason your mobo downclocks to 1333 is for stability. With 64Gbs memory, you're using all dimms which puts more stress on the memory controller. Your system runs fine with 1333, if you want to run it at 1600 will have to apply more voltage to the memory controller. I'm not an expert in overclocking so couldn't tell you by how much.

If it needs to be 1600, where would I find the right voltage for it?I think for the Gskill memory at 1600mhz it should work at 1.5v. That's what it should be set at already though.
Don't hold me on that though, Im not keen nor an expert on overclocking memory.
Boju is right though, memory speed shouldn't be a problem.

Try removing half your memory. Was thinking the same, running @ 1600 (and gaining so much fps if its possibe) could possibly be an exploit in an anomaly (fault) with your motherboard having all dimms populated. Possibly there is a glitch with the memory controller/mobo. Running 64GB is pretty full on with most mobos and makers of them wouldn't receive much feedback on quality control as not as many people would have that much memory in my opinion.
See if it makes any difference @ 1333 having half the memory.

Something is not right. A drastic increase like that suggests there's a problem with the board.
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1942737/differen... just some outside comments about 1600 vs 2400 memory.
If indeed system memory is holding your system back, you'd better replace your motherboard, certainly not normal.
