hey guys, I dont know if this is the right place to ask this, so Im sorry in advance if there is a better sub-forum to post this in.
My issue is that I am experiencing really hard lag in games, regardless of how low I set my graphics settings.The two specific games are Dragonage Inquisition, and GTA V (both online, and storymode).
the problem started immediately after installing a second graphics card and new cpu cooler some several months ago, and it is just getting out of hand. This is my first bottom up build, but I know how to install a cpu cooler, and I simply cant imagine how I could have possibly messed up a graphics card installation, but I am not above the idea that maybe I screwed something up. I am curious if maybe there is some setting that I didnt change when I installed the second card in crossfire (I did check the little box for crossfire in catalyst control center).
anyways, here is my current build list...
AMD FX-8350 black edition (4.0 GHz)
Noctua NH-D14 cooler
Asus M5A97 le R2.0
MSI R9-270X Gaming edition (X2 in crossfire, not overclocked beyond factory settings)
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Western Digital 2TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
NZXT Phantom 530 case
Here is a link with the build

I have to toot my own horn here a little bit, the wiring is simply phenomenal, so I know it isnt restricting air flow, however I have yet to add to the stock case fans so the air flow is not nearly as good as it could be.
any help in figuring this out, or at least a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
