Hello! I have purchased the Gigabyte g1 Gaming r9 380 AMD card about 1 day ago.

Since then i've been setting up/testing how the card performs, i'll provide information and my issue below.

Basically i have hoped that i could at least play Blizzards Heroes of the Storm at High settings with out too much issues.
But this was not the case, at high settings my games go roughly to 30-40 FPS Range, sometimes dropping to 27 FPS During big teamfights/action.

Is this normal with my rig? Or is there something i'm doing wrong here, any help would be appreciated!

My Computer Specs :

Display Resolution: 1920x1080 60MHz

Thank you for taking the time to read all of this. And thanks for help in advance! -Rukhal
 
Don't know much about that game, but I can tell you from playing Guild Wars 2 that any time you have large numbers of players on screen, even with an effective culling system in place, you are going to see significant FPS impact on any platform.

Try looking at performance in a more controlled environment or even a benchmark like Valley.

Also, is your 955BE overclocked at all? Sometimes this will help in CPU bound games.
