So i just upgraded from an HD 6870 toan ASUS r9 280x i was expecting a quite big leap in terms of performance. Im not saying i expected the double performance boost that's on paper but id say atleast 40%. The games that worked great still work great the games that lagged still lag.
Valley bench got 42fps (1080p, 8xaa). I've searched around really quick people seem to be getting higher scores.
My main question is if my CPU is bottlenecking me too far? Fx 8120 clocked at 3,8 GHz.
Also i should point out thay my CPU never goes over 40C and my graph card on valley bench doesnt go over 72C.

Try overclocking your cpu at aroung 4Ghz and see if you get a performance boost.
