Hey, I just bought a Zotac GTX 970 hoping to upgrade my R9 270 that i got beginning of this year. But for some odd reason when I test both cards using latest drivers from Nvidia 347.09 - WHQL and AMD Catalyst 14.11.2 (Omega drivers), my R9 270 is getting the similar FPS on Dragon Age Inquisition around 28 (AMD) and 32 (GTX) max. (The scenary is Redcliffe Village cause that is where FPS seems to drop lowest and I don't understand why its doing that when I reinstalled both of the drivers twice to see if its driver problems).
In other games like MGS Ground Zeroes on extra effects, GTX 970 is only getting 7 fps more than R9 270. Same with my other games. I am also not getting CPU bottleneck despite its a Phenom 955 BE OC to 4.0ghz since the Rivertuner is reporting consistently that the CPU is only running at max 85% usage. Even in World of Tanks where the game is badly optimized, i am getting only few fps more with GTX even at the lowest settings.
This should not be happening considering GTX 970 extremely more powerful. Any tips why this problem is occuring?
