About a week ago my R9 290 could run GTA V at 60 fps, very high-ultra settings. Suddenly it barely runs 50 fps. What could be the cause of this?

Hello JorisIn,
The problem is not the video card from the looks of it.
It sounds like you have an overheating problem, If you want, download cputemp and post the readings as a reply and i would be glad to help. Minor checkings, have you tried to see if the gpu fan is spinning? It may also be getting hot. Cpu cooler? If nothing gets ressolved, you'll have to replace the thermal paste and see what happens from there.

Hello, Stranger. I had overheating problems, because i didn't have any case fans before. Now i got case fans and the GPU temp doesn't pass 75.
