I have recently upgraded to an R9 390 but am experiencing low fps and poor GPU usage in all games.
All games at 1080p have v-sync, motion blur, dof turned off. High to Ultra settings. AA low to medium. However, changing graphics from the most ultra settings down to high or medium never really changed the performance. I usually play in full screen, playing in windowed or borderless windowed didn't help.
My System:
FX-8350
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
Asus m5a97 LE R2.0
Sapphire R9 390 (I enabled the uefi mode via the blue button)
Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600 16GB
Corsair Enthusiast TX750W PSU
Samsung 830 SSD
RO 2: I get around 40-50 fps with normal dips and spikes from 30-60. It appears that this game is also bottlenecked at my cpu. Is my cpu really that poor? I assumed it should be able to crush a game like this.
Starcraft 2v2: 120 fps at the beginning, dropping to steady 30 in the mid/late game.
GTA 5: Sometimes It will reach 60fps+ (80 in my garage) but it usually runs 40-50 fps with normal dips into the 30 fps range.
I did a fresh install of windows last week in an attempt to fix this so I am still downloading more games to test out. Can post back with Star Citizen, BF4 and WarThunder afterburner stats soon.

■ All drivers are up to date. My bios hasn't been updated since I got this cpu/mobo 2 years ago though.
■ There seems to be no background tasks taking any significant amount of resources.
■ Turning AMD Turbo Boost on doesn't seem to help and in some cases (GTA5) even hurts performance. Now I just have it disabled.
■ I have the bios and windows set to Performance Power mode.
■ I noticed my memory is set to 1151MHz in my bios and I don't even have an option to go up to 1600. Is this an issue, how do i fix it?
