First off

ASUS MA5A97 LE R2.0
FX 4130
Sapphire R9 270x
Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz
Thermaltake 700W PSU (Not sure of the model off the top of my head, sorry, I'm at work right now)
WD 1 TB 7200 RPM Blue

Alright, here's the issue. I have had this card for several months and been very happy with it. I installed Titanfall when it came out and cranked the graphics up to ultra or insane or whatever and I've never been able to notice frame changes. A few days ago I noticed a serious frame rate drop. It happens mostly in open areas where there are a lot of textures to process. For instance I''ll zoom in with a scope and the frame rate will be fine. I tried overclocking the card a little bit and it seemed to help for a game or two but that's it.

Max temps
CPU 39 C
GPU 46 C (even after overclock)

It's a water cooled system.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Honestly I'm not sure. I haven't tried any other games yet. It did just start after update 8 though. That thought had crossed my mind but I forgot to mention it. If that's the issue then I hope they fix it soon.
