Ok I have catylest omega on my system and it is the only amd driver on my system why do I get fps drops when my cpu and gpu never go above 50% usage, using windows 8.1 freshly installed 2 months ago so yes I only have catylest omegle.

Did the game ever play well? Whats the install path? I've had problems with some games installed on the C:Games path and then reinstalled to Program files x86 and they worked better. Those temps seem really low. How long are you playing the game for? What graphic settings are you using?

the game never played well as in it would drop fps from max 91 to 45 or even 39 fps on certain maps when looking a certain direction all settings on ultra or optimized defaults, would installing the game on my hdd's x86 file work which is the D drive while my ssd is only for my OS?

That would only make it slower. I guess it's just not a very well optimised game. Some games just can't utilise all the power of a graphics card.

Ok I guess your right but should I still upgrade to a 1000 watt p2 power supply and add 8gb more ram or should I get 16gb more ram? Also is there a good mobo for overclocking my fx 8320? Mine is a ga 970a d3p and max overclock on this board is 4.4ghz it only has 4+2 power phase and one pcie 2.0 x16 and one at x4 should I upgrade mobo or no? Should I wait for r9 390x or get r9 290x 8gb that is dx12 ready, give me a run for my money please.

Okay, your RAM is fine. No game really utilises more than 8GB of RAM. I don't know the make of your power supply, but if you have at least 600W from a manufacturer like Seasonic, XFX, EVGA or be quiet! you should be perfectly fine. For a motherboard, if you can stretch to it, I would recommend the ASRock 990FX Extreme9 - it has a whopping 12 power phases and is the best overclocking board for the FX-8000 series, in my opinion.

You should be just fine.
