Thanks for viewing. I played Warhamer Vermintide, Rust and even Starbound pretty great but relized every once in a while I would get a FPS lag spike. So I through in a Radeon R9 280 TurboDuo in. Now, I can barley play Rust at all with it dropping to 10 FPS even on medium settings, Warhamer plays well but drops in FPS everytime there is a hord so it is a no go, and even Starbound a 2d pixel game only runs at 20FPS at most. I installed the drivers directly from the website and downloaded the Radeon driver manager to do it right. I cant understand why my FPS is so low. These games ran better without a graphics card in the machine.

Thanks for helping, I actually got an answer in another forum. Turns out I placed my new GPU in my second PCI slot and my BIOS was set to use my other PCI slot. So I have no Idea how that worked, sept I'm getting 65FPS on ultra settings now. I feel like an idiot lol.
