I NEED HELP

I used to have an Asus GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2gb, I would average just around 60 fps and sometimes dropping on a 64 player BF3 server. I installed my Sapphire TRI-X OC R9 290, and now In battlefield I average 42 FPS with a minimum of 29! And a max of 81. I really need help with this fluctuating. I know that 60 fps and 40 fps aren't bad, but what bothers me is that my 650 Ti BOOST runs better in ALL games than this. Also, the 6 pin power connector (The one that is actually on the gpu that you plug the 6 pin into :p) is loose and hangs down lower than the 8 pin. I have an FX-6100, and I also have a Rosewill Photon Series 750w 80+ Gold PSU. But why would the 650 Ti BOOST run better on it? Should I just RMA it? What do I do?!?! Please help!!
 


what did you actually mean with that statement? did you mean there were somekind of damage to the gpu 6 pin power connector slot? other than that it points to bottleneck problem.

I can take a picture, and what bothers me is that I've seen people with overclocked 8350's have this same problem...

 


have you properly uninstall your previous driver?

I went into device manager, uninstalled the video adapter, and I uninstalled Catalyst.

 


i mean your geforce drivers.

That's what I use, and I have tried OC'ing my CPU.
