Hi everyone, I'm new altough I've read several threads here which solved my problems but I couldn't find anything for my problem. Or at least I didn't know what to search for because I have no idea what's the faulty element here.

So my problem is that I have good fps (60-90 fps in Battlefield 1 on Ultra settings for example (without V-sync obviously)) for a few days for example: I uninstalled the amd drivers with DDU in safe mode 2 days ago and reinstalled the same version of the driver which is the most up to date one and had the said 60-90 fps up until this morning. Now my fps went from 60-90 to 5-35 on the same settings. The GPU temps seem normal ( usually 40-80 degrees - depends if it is used or not ) sometimes the GPU usage drops to 0% and then back to 100% so the graph looks like an ECG. I started using MSI Afterburner as someone suggested but there is one thing I don't understand about it: I can only set 1950 MHz for max memory clock whereas the GPU's memory clock speed is supposed to be 6000 MHz but this is just a minor question that popped in to my mind. The main problem is still the driver issue as described above.

Edit: Now I have to clean uninstall the driver after every shutdown and reinstall it

My specs:

Asus m5A99x EVO R2.0
Fx 8350 going on 4,1 Ghz
HyperX Beast 8 GB kit 2400 Mhz and HyperX Fury 16 GB kit 2400 Mhz
Asus Strix R9 390x 8Gb

Windows 10 Pro 60 bit

Monitor the temps and also if the fans are starting. I had a lot of problems, from fans running at only 1200RPM all the time, to the fans not starting at all causing the card to go in protection mode and cut the signal to the monitor. In your case it might go near the max temp and throttle the GPU frequency, dropping the performance that much. I solved the problem by installing MSI Afterburner and making a custom profile for the fans, but set the Afterburner to start with Windows and apply settings at startup.

The heat is not the problem sorry for not mentioning it in the thread. It's 80 degrees max. As I said my problem is that I have to reinstall the driver almost every day because that's the only thing that worked for now.
