My Build : A10 7700k OC to 4.0hz cpu ( graphics cores disabled)
16 Gigs of ddr3 ADATA 1833 RAM
Gigabyte F2A 88XM D3H MB
1Tb HDD
250 Gig SSD
MSI R9 390
KenTec 850W psu
1xDvd drive
2x 140mm, 4x 120mm, 1 80mm fans, and a Zalman coolermax CPU cooler
Asus 144hz Monitor
Cisco Wireless adapter ( cannot get a wired connection at the moment)
I'm trying to figure out why with three different graphics car setups, and now on this R9 390, my physics score (and therefor my overall) in 3D mark Firestrike are trash. I also and getting FPS spikes in Black Ops 3 on max settings with this R9, ranging from 70 fps to 120 fps. Is it a power issue? I've read up a bit on throttling but i don't completely grasp it. Maybe my CPU isn't compatible for the level of gaming i'm trying to achieve. I'm just at a loss at this point, maybe my expectations are a bit high for this rig?. I'm somewhat new to pc building/tweaking, especially jumping on forums and attempting to troubleshoot, so please excuse any formalities I miss.
