I'm only 15 so I don"t have a job and I convinced my parents to buy me an R9 390 for my birthday, but it has some serious performance issues. I previously had an XFX 5750 and it performed great for an old card, such as maxing out modded skyrim at 40 fps, but when I popped in the 390 it was the same and sometimes even worse. However, in games like Withcer 3 and Dishonored it runs great at 50 fps and 130+ respectively. In GTA V it runs at 25 fps at medium high, in Tomb Raider it runs at 40 maxed out, and in the original Crysis it runs 50 maxed. I'm baffled by these results and have searched the internet for answers. Some say the cpu is to blame, but I am skeptical because of the huge and dramatic swings in fps especially when compared to online results. I believe that the psu is to blame because it recommends 750W and I have 725w, so I believe it's being under powered. Also some people say that Windows 10 has bad drivers for newer Radeon Cards. If you have an answer please post it
