Check your temperatures on the GPU and make sure they aren't exceeding 95 celsius. The reference R9 290's ran extremely hot, as the refrence cooler really isn't sufficient for keeping that GPU cool, throttling problems on the reference cards were pretty common.

Other than that, make sure your drivers are up to date, and check your Battlefield settings to make sure you don't have resolution scaling cranked up to 200% or some form of Supersampling AA enabled, that will kill your framerates even with a properly functioning R9 290.
