Bad fps on ultra with a really good pc

HI guys, I can't get a solid 60 fps on games like shogun 2 total war, rome 2, Witcher 3, far cry 3, etc. When I turn everything up on ultra. Is there something wrong with my system? I even tried OC the gpu but saw no difference in Witcher 3. Could it be my global settings in the amd software crimson?

Yeah, the 390 isn't strong enough to run those games at ultra and 60 FPS solid.

Your computer isn't bad, but it's not ultra good.

Some of those games you should be hitting 60, some you shouldn't be. Do you have more individual details about what FPS you *are* getting? And that's all settings maxed out?

Well on witcher 3 i have nvidia hairworks off, shadows and foliage set to high instead of ultra. But the frame rate jumps around too much from 55 - 30 fps. I also have vsync off in witcher 3. In far cry 3 48-60 fps if i have msaa on 4 and vsync off. If i have have the msaa any higher it is 40-20 fps. I know anti aliasing has a really huge hit on performance but shouldn't my graphics card still be able to handle it?

How could i make it ultra good?

well, give the following a try, if it fixes things, great, if it doesn't keep looking:

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
