Trying to figure out why video seems to have slowed down or something. Even simple playback of .mkv of 1080p movies seem kind of laggy and often getting horizontal lines either 1/3 or 2/3 down the screen. Also I tried to play older game Darksiders 2 which I had no problems with before even with my older 4890 at max settings, game only goes up to 1080p anyway. Just seems very choppy, laggy video and both windows and the game seem kind of zoomed in? like its closer than should be if that makes sense. I might have messed with a setting as I didn't notice this problem until I was trying to figure out a way to playback 3D .mkvs. Tried downloading MSI afterburner and overclocking card to core 1050 and memory at 1350 with no problems but no change in issues either. Afterburner monitor says card does not even seem to break a sweat.

One thing of note and not sure if this means something, when I was trying to see if I could display FPS in game I cam across this you tube video for adding FPS to afterburner monitor and none of the settings are available, they just aren't there.

Has me wondering if the driver is not installed properly? I always do a clean install for AMD drivers and even upgraded to the newest one yesterday.

Rest of system:
i7-920
AMD r9 280
6g tri-channel OCZ Gold ddr3 1600mhz
Plextor 250g SSD
500g storage drive
Display is a Epson 5030ub on 135" @1080p

Appreciate any help.

EDIT: Currently downloading "Futuremark 3DMark + TimeSpy" to try and test system or would "3DMark Vantage" be better?

Edit #2: Came back to see 3dmark had some kind of forced closed error:

Just ran Firestrike 1.1 benchmark from 3dmark and noticed "Physics"
benchmarks seem to be a lot lower on mine than others with same card.
see if these links work
Mine with i7-920 AMD Radeon R9 280 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-920 Processor,Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X58-USB3
Physics Score: 4012 Physics Test: 12.74 fps

Another person who has r9 280 but fx-6300 AMD Radeon R9 280 video card benchmark result - AMD FX-6300,MSI 970 GAMING (MS-7693)
Physics Score: 6963 Physics Test: 22.11 fps

Will try Heaven 4.0 next
